The decedent was a veteran who was unable to make his appointment at the VA for his pain medication. He visited a local pain clinic and was prescribed medications that were double the strength of his regular medication. Unbeknownst to him, this clinic was only in the business of prescribing opiates for profit and did not use legitimate medical providers or standards. The decedent accidentally overdosed on the medication. Tommy agreed to represent the family and tirelessly uncovered a vast criminal conspiracy involving a physician, a sheriff\u2019s deputy, and a medical recruiter. The jury found all of these parties responsible and assessed damages at $10,000,000 including punitive damages. The physician surrendered his license, the deputy resigned from the department and the recruiter was forced to sell everything to pay the judgment. The publicity from the case helped spur the passage of the first \u201cpill mill\u201d legislation in Texas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tommy Hastings llev\u00f3 este caso de homicidio culposo, que fue aclamado por varios medios de comunicaci\u00f3n como la primera sentencia civil del pa\u00eds contra una \u201cf\u00e1brica de pastillas\u201d.
