The Law Offices of Timothy O'Hare & Associates has represented many people who have been injured as a result of medical malpractice. Unfortunately, it's a tragedy that happens all too frequently. Every day, doctors, nurses, and other health care professionals across the country commit acts of negligence that can result in serious and permanent injuries for the unfortunate patient.

Whether it involves a physician's failure to properly diagnose an illness, a pharmacist filling the wrong prescription, or a nurse's mistake resulting from her failure to properly read a patient's chart, medical malpractice in the U.S. results in millions of dollars of additional medical expenses for injured patients, and a lifetime of pain and suffering, both for the patient and for his or her loved ones. Medical Malpractice can also happen in nursing homes, causing unnecessary suffering for senior citizens, the disabled and others requiring constant care.

There are many ways medical errors give rise to a medical malpractice claim. Some of the more common examples of medical malpractice include:

• A nurse's failure to remove a surgical sponge from the patient after surgery
• A surgeon's operation on the wrong body part or even on the wrong patient
• An anesthesiologist's improper administration of anesthesia prior to surgery
• A doctor's failure to diagnose cancer or another serious illness
• Neglect of an elderly nursing home patient
• Prescribing a medication to a patient who is allergic to the medication
• A Pharmacist filling a prescription with the wrong medication
• A hospital's failure to maintain sterile conditions
