Were You or a Loved One Injured by Medical Malpractice in Austin?

If you or someone you love has been injured by a medical mistake, you need a law firm that you can depend on. Hospitals, doctors, nurses, and insurance companies have a wide range of resources at their disposal, including high-dollar defense lawyers on their side who specialize in personal injury law defense. Medical malpractice victims commonly have cases where Texas law favors doctors and hospitals. In Texas, powerful medical lobbyists have made it expensive and difficult for patients to bring suit for medical negligence claims against healthcare providers. As a result, only a handful of personal injury firms and injury lawyers still handle medical malpractice cases at all.

At Hastings Law Firm our team of Texas medical injury attorneys and legal staff fight against these odds every day to obtain the justice and compensation our clients deserve. Representation by the Hastings Law Firm will provide you with an experienced and confident staff ready to go toe-to-toe with medical professionals to help you win your case. Whether your injury was due to a surgical error, misdiagnosis, defective medical product, complications from a medication, or other serious personal injury, our law offices can help.

Lawsuits involving medical neglect are notoriously complex. We have represented clients in a myriad of matters in medical malpractice including obstetrics and pediatrics, gynecology, cardiology, neurosurgery, orthopedics, infectious diseases, emergency room care, nursing home abuse and more.

Texas medical malpractice laws require evidence of negligence or a sub-standard quality of care be present to warrant a malpractice claim, so not all accidents or negative outcomes may be considered a legal issue – despite how severe.
