With over sixty (60) years combined experience, the medical malpractice lawyers of Flaherty Fardo have recovered millions of dollars for victims of medical neglect and malpractice. Our experiences includes verdicts, awards and settlements on behalf of men, women and children of all ages and all backgrounds. These malpractice lawsuits have been against hospitals, doctors and nurses resulting from a variety of errors, omissions, and bad medical decision making. Our Practice has handled a variety of malpractice cases, including but not limited surgical errors, OB/GYN mistakes, emergency room mistakes, and failure to diagnose or misdiagnosis.
We carefully screen each medical malpractice case before accepting it and believe each medical malpractice case is unique and needs to be treated that way. At our firm, we typically use a minium of three (3) lawyers assigned to each malpractice case, and limit the number of cases that we actually accept. We do offer free consultations via phone or email at info@pghfirm.com.
Medical malpractice is defined as the deviation from the acceptable standard of care by a doctor or healthcare professional. It is a professional negligence claim, basically stating that the care rendered fell below what is acceptable in the community.
The decision to sue a doctor or hospital in Pennsylvania is not an easy decision. Pennsylvania juries (with the exception of Philadelphia) can be very conservative. Hundreds of thousands of people are employed by healthcare organizations in our state, and almost everyone knows someone who works in the healthcare field. There is a strong jury bias in favor of doctors and hospitals. Critics blame lawyers for the increasing medical insurance rates and people living in Pennsylvania are generally in favor of doctors.
Injured victims have two (2) years to decide if they want to file a malpractice lawsuit. The statute of limitations for filing a medical malpractice case in Pennsylvania is two (2) years from when the patient knew, had reason to know or should have known of the potential malpractice. The statute can be extended in cases involving minors and in other limited circumstances.
However, the longer a patient waits to pursue their claim, the more likely the memories of witnesses will fade and the potential for lost evidence increases. If a patient is seriously injured, there are strategic advantages of pursuing the medical malpractice claim sooner than later.
Once a decision has been made to pursue a medical malpractice case, the plaintiff needs to be fully committed to the case, and needs to obtain the best malpractice attorneys and expert witness(es) possible.

I am an out of State client, over 1500 miles away, and through the 2 years of work on my case I never met anyone from the firm in person, yet they treated me like I lived down the street from the office.
I am very pleased with the professional teamwork, and their patience and timely responses to my requests and to the task at hand. They did all they could do to help with the difficult facts of my case, and I am pleased with the outcome. I would recommend this law firm to anyone with the assurance they would offer the same quality service to them as they did to me. Thank you Flaherty Fardo, Carole J. Boyd
Couldn't have asked for a better experience. They are a wonderful group who are efficient, patient, communicative and do their job very well.
They kept me in the loop the whole time and were extremely helpful. I have used a different firm in the past and this was like night and day. If you are considering using Flaherty Fardo for your assessment appeal (or likely anything else they practice) then you found what you are looking for. A special thank you to Nicole who spearheaded my case and answered my never-ending questions. Top notch!
"Highly Recommended" just isn't enough praise. They are by far the best I have ever worked with.
Professional, but beyond that their personal touch is exactly what a medical malpractice client or personal injury client needs. Noah Fardo is amazing, but the entire firm were great to us. I honestly can't thank Bill Rogel, Nicole Hauptman Amick, and Jaclyn Gibson enough. Thank you all.
