Medical Malpractice
Our firm is particularly interested in medical malpractice cases. We have a great respect for the men and women involved in the health care industry. However, we also believe that with great respect comes great responsibility. Too often, physicians and nurses betray the trust of their patients through carelessness and inattention. These actions can lead to devastating consequences for the patient. Our goal is to hold health care professionals accountable for their mistakes, just like every other person should be accountable.
While a medical license bestows prestige, it does not place someone above the law. We believe that holding health care professionals responsible for their mistakes utlmately improves the quality of medical care for our families and yours. When this firm accepts a medical malpractice case, we devote the time and resources needed to succeed in trial. We work with experts from every area of the country, including some of the top medical schools in the United States. We also spend countless hours examining the medical records and other evidence to ensure that no stone remains unturned. We will investigate your case to give you the answers the healthcare industry will not.
Motor Vehicle Collisions
Cases arising out of automobile accidents are by far the most common type of personal injury case pending in our court system today. This is not surprising given that every 10 seconds, someone in the United States is involved in a car accident, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Automobile accidents can lead to personal and financial ruin for an injured victim. Lost time from work and medical bills can lead to bankruptcy, foreclosure, and repossession. Serious and continued pain and suffering affects you, your family, and those around you. The insurance companies profit by making sure the injury victim does not get fairly compensated. If you have been injured in an automobile accident, contact us immediately to discuss your case.
Defective Products
Personal injury can result from the use of dangerous or defective products. Companies should ensure that the products they sell are safe for use by consumers. "Products liability" law refers to the rules govenring the manufacture or other provider liability for products that harm consumers and workers. Companies that allow dangerous items into the marketplace can be held accountable for resulting injuries. Hastings Law Firm P.C. has handled cases involving numerous types of defective products, including medical devices such as knee and hip replacements, household products, tools, industrial machinery, and children's furniture.
Other Personal Injury
There is an old saying that "accidents happen." Accidents do happen. Sometimes, bad luck and bad circumstances come togther and wreak havoc in our lives. Other times, accidents happen because someone else was careless. When individuals and companies are the reason that "accidents happen," you should not be forced to bear the cost of their mistakes. Our firm handles all types of personal injury cases involving industrial accidents, workplace accidents, and other accidents that result in serious personal injuries.
