Medical Malpractice & Negligence

Medical Malpractice is an area of personal injury law that permits individuals to receive compensation for injuries caused by the acts or omissions of medical providers where the providers’ quality of care does not meet the standards of the medical community. Patients trust their medical providers will comply with the highest standards of care; unfortunately, mistakes occur that often result in serious injury and death.

Our attorneys have represented many individuals and families injured by the negligence of doctors, nurses, medical institutions, hospitals and nursing homes. The team at O’Connor Law Firm has the experience and expertise to handle these complex cases, which include:

  • Failure to diagnose

Often times medical negligence results in permanent injury.
