When Kathryn and Lane Hagan welcomed their daughter, Libby, they never imagined the heartbreak that would follow. A devastating medication error in the Brookwood Hospital NICU resulted in Libby receiving 100 times the prescribed insulin dosage, causing severe brain damage and leaving her with lifelong disabilities. The hospital provided little guidance or support, leaving the Hagans to navigate their overwhelming new reality alone. Determined to hold the hospital accountable, they turned to Hare Wynn for help.

From the start, Hare Wynn approached the case with both compassion and determination. Their legal team refused inadequate settlement offers, fully preparing for trial to ensure Libby’s future care was secured. After two years of litigation and intense negotiations, they reached a settlement that provided the financial support necessary for Libby’s lifelong needs.

For the Hagans, the experience was about more than just legal representation—it was about finding a team that truly cared. They credit Hare Wynn not only for achieving justice but also for standing by them like family throughout the entire process.

Anne Davis experienced severe pain following gallbladder surgery. As it turned out, Ms. Davis had a bile leak that had led to an infection. When Ms. Davis went to see the on-call doctor at a Dothan surgical clinic, however, she was told that it was okay for her to go home. Hours later, Ms. Davis developed sepsis and died later that night.

Hare Wynn lawyers Leon Ashford and Ashley Peinhardt took the case to trial in Houston County in September 2024. At the trial, experts testified that the on-call doctor should have immediately sent Ms. Davis to the emergency room and that prompt treatment at the emergency room would have most likely prevented Ms. Davis’ death. The jury deliberated for less than an hour before delivering a $6 million verdict for Ms. Davis’ wrongful death.

Macy Ingram went to St. Vincent’s Hospital in Birmingham to deliver her baby boy, Hayden. Before Macy went into labor, hospital staff in the laboratory tested her for Group B strep (GBS)—a type of bacteria that can cause devastating injuries to newborns. Macy’s electronic medical records later indicated that she had tested negative for GBS when she was actually positive for GBS. Sadly, Hayden was exposed to GBS during delivery and, as a result, developed a severe infection that left him severely and permanently disabled. Hare Wynn represented the Ingram family in their lawsuit against St. Vincent’s

John Thomas was driving through Cleburne County, Alabama on Interstate 20 on his way to visit his daughter when a double-trailer UPS truck slammed into his car. John had to be airlifted to Atlanta where he underwent a cervical fusion surgery. John hired Hare Wynn to represent him in his lawsuit against UPS. During the case, Hare Wynn uncovered that the UPS driver had a checkered driving record that included numerous wrecks, tickets, violations of UPS safety policies, and a jail sentence for reckless driving—evidence that allowed John’s claims against UPS to go forward under multiple theories of negligence and wantonness.

When John Townsend arrived at Regional Medical Center’s emergency department, he was suffering from a life-threatening complication—one his doctor failed to properly diagnose. Despite clear signs of a pseudoaneurysm, a known risk following his recent abdominal aorta aneurysm repair, the emergency room doctor ignored critical recommendations for further testing and sent John home. The next morning, his pseudoaneurysm ruptured. He was rushed to the hospital, but it was too late to save him.

Hare Wynn attorney Shay Samples, alongside Ashley Peinhardt, filed a lawsuit on behalf of John’s wife, Angela. The case went to trial, where Shay exposed the failures of both Dr. Perez and the defense’s expert witnesses. Angela describes watching his skillful cross-examinations as “thrilling,” comparing his courtroom presence to Matlock. At trial, the jury found Perez responsible for John’s preventable death, awarding Angela $2 million. For her, the verdict brought a sense of justice and a weight lifted—one she believes John himself reassured her of in a quiet, unexplainable moment before the trial’s end.
