HOUSTON, Texas – Hastings Law Firm has been named among the best medical malpractice lawyers in Houston in 2026 rankings from legal publications. Grossman Law Review named the firm among the best in the city, and Lawsuit Talks and The Law Brigade Publishers ranked it first in their Houston guides.
The rankings compared Houston firms that represent patients harmed by medical negligence. Among the factors they named were board certification, a practice focused solely on medical injury, trial experience and the resources these cases require. Lawsuit Talks closed its Houston comparison with a recommendation, “Hastings Law Firm should be your first consultation.”
Hastings Law Firm has been dedicated exclusively to medical malpractice since 2005. Its founder, Tommy Hastings, is Board Certified in Personal Injury Trial Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization and has represented injured patients since 2001. The firm’s team includes former defense attorneys who understand how medical injury claims are defended, along with board-certified patient advocates. Every case is prepared as if it were going to trial, and that preparation has produced multimillion-dollar settlements and record-setting verdicts.
The firm offers a free case review. It advances the cost of experts and the other expenses of building a case, and clients pay no attorney fees or costs unless the firm wins.
Medical malpractice claims in Texas fall under Chapter 74 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code, which sets requirements that shape how these cases are handled. A patient generally must file suit within two years, measured from the negligent act or the related treatment or hospitalization rather than from when the harm was discovered. The patient must also serve an expert report on each defendant no later than 120 days after that defendant files its original answer, and a defendant can ask the court to dismiss a claim that lacks a timely report.
Texas also limits non-economic damages, ordinarily to $250,000 collectively against physicians and other non-institutional providers, with separate limits for healthcare institutions that can bring the ordinary combined ceiling to $750,000. Several of the factors the rankings named, including trial experience, a practice focused on medical injury and the resources these cases require, relate directly to those requirements.
