    The Eye Drop Nightmare: How a Popular Product Led to Infections and Blindness, Eyedrop Recall Lawsuit

    In January 2023, the popular eye drop solution, EzriCare Artificial Tears, was discovered to contain a dangerous pathogen, leaving unsuspecting users at risk of serious eye infections that could lead to permanent eye damage or blindness. The U.S. Food & Drug Administration issued a nationwide recall, and the contaminated eye drops have been linked to at least 55 reports of adverse events, including eye infections, permanent loss of vision, and death from a bloodstream infection. In this podcast, we discuss the dangers of the contaminated eye drops, the symptoms of Pseudomonas aeruginosa eye infections, and how to seek medical attention. We also explore the legal process and your options for seeking compensation, including the eligibility to file a lawsuit. Although the Hastings Law Firm is mentioned as one option for legal guidance, we also discuss other resources available for those affected by this crisis.

    There are many checks and processes a surgeon must adhere to during an operation, including ensuring that all tools and implements are accounted for. This is to make sure a stray sponge or pair of tongs has not been left in your body after the surgery. Sometimes if an operation is rushed or the surgeon is lacking in concentration, the incision is sewn closed with a tool or implement left inside. Many serious complications can develop, such as blood infections or organ damage, and this may result in you needing another operation or urgent medical treatment. If you find out that your surgeon has left something behind after your operation, our Houston lawyers at Hastings Law Firm can assist with your negligence case. Tommy Hastings has represented clients throughout Texas for over 15 years in the area of malpractice pursuing fair and full compensation for the injury or loss suffered. He has a strong history of successful outcomes and has secured millions of dollars on behalf of his clients for harm caused during an operation, as well as many other types of trauma.

    Houston Prostate Surgery Malpractice Lawyers - Hastings Law Firm, Medical Malpractice Lawyers

    A prostate operation, also called a prostatectomy, is now often completed via a da Vinci operation robot and not by the previously used laparoscopic procedure. More than 85% of prostatectomies are completed via robotic surgery. However, often the surgeon only practices operating the robot for one or two days before their first operation, as opposed to the in-depth education normally required for a surgery. The efficiency and cost of robotic surgeries is now under scrutiny as an increasing amount of injuries are resulting from this method of operating. A Houston lawyer familiar in dealing with surgical mistakes can help you if you think that you have been negligently injured during a prostate operation. Tommy Hastings of Hastings Law Firm has worked for over 15 years representing those who have suffered as a result of negligence to make the responsible doctors and hospitals account for their actions. His impressive history of successful trials and negotiations can be evidenced by the millions of dollars he has secured on behalf of his satisfied clients.

    Houston Prescription Drug Injury Lawyers - Hastings Law Firm, Medical Malpractice Lawyers

    Texas residents should be aware of the potential dangers involving prescription medications. According to the Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy, as many as one and a half million people are affected by prescription drug injuries every year in the U.S. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration, however, indicates that this number is not accurate. The FDA asserts that a large number of medication errors go completely unreported. For this reason, the full number of injuries associated with drug errors may be much higher than the 1.5 million figure cited by the AMCP. Psychology Today notes that on a list that identifies the top causes of medical malpractice in the country, medication mistakes come in at number four. That is among other forms of malpractice such as missed or incorrect diagnoses, inappropriate treatment regimes, surgical mistakes, and more. Staying safe can be a matter of life and death when prescription drugs are involved. Anytime an error involving a medication is suspected, a Texas resident should reach out to an experienced lawyer for help. The medical negligence attorneys at Hastings Law Firm can help you get justice. Our Attorneys Help Victims of Prescription Drug Side Effects and Recalls Across Texas.
