What is Medical Malpractice?
Medical Malpractice is the deviation from the acceptable standard of care for what is acceptable when treating patients within the medical community.
Medical Malpractice is the failure of medical professionals to provide adequate treatment to patients resulting in a
personal injury or substantial loss of income Medical
Malpractice is believed to be the third leading cause of death in the United States behind heart disease and cancer, according to an article in the Journal of American Medical Association.
A physician must have the same knowledge and skill and use the same care normally used in the medical profession.
A physician whose conduct does not meet this professional standard of care is negligent and should be held responsible. Individuals in Pennsylvania are entitled to compensation when a physician's negligence causes their injury.
Compensation for medical malpractice includes monetary recovery for past and future pain & suffering, medical expenses, lost wages, earning capacity, embarrassment, humiliation, disfigurement, and enjoyment of life.

The Advantage of Having Physicians on Retainer:
FLAHERTY FARDO, LLC has a distinct advantage over many other law firms by having immediate and unfettered access to board certified physicians to review cases and to help with the prosecution of medical malpractice actions when negligence exists.
Our law firm is proud to have both
Dr. Barbara E. Fardo and
Dr. Dean J. Fardo, on retainer to fully evaluate our potential medical malpractice cases. Both Dr. Fardo's are board certified physicians and operate their own medical practices respectively.
We accept about 1 out of 10 medical malpractice cases we review based upon the trusted judgment and advice of our physicians.
During trials, it is an enormous asset to have physicians answer key and complex medical questions. Combing the trial experience of our law firm, with the expertise of our physicians, we believe gives us the greatest opportunity to maximize monetary recovery for our injured clients.
Our physicians on retainer will regularly speak to our lawyers about cases, review medical records, review deposition transcripts, and even speak directly to clients if warranted.
Pennsylvania Requires 'The Certificate of Merit':
In 2003, the Pennsylvania State Supreme Court approved a new rule requiring attorneys to obtain a "certificate of merit" from a medical professional establishing that the medical work in the case fell outside acceptable standards.
A lawyer failing to obtain the certificate cannot bring a case to trial. Public opinion and political pressure have left severely injured victims to face cynical juries.
Therefore, it is imperative that medical malpractice claims are investigated by competent attorneys who have immediate access to a variety of physicians for review.
*No Fee Unless Recovery Is Made:
Our representation for medical malpractice and/or medical negligence cases is based on a contingent fee structure. There is absolutely no fee unless we obtain recovery for you. We advance 100% the costs, including experts, filings, and depositions and are only reimbursed from the client's share if we are successful.
If we represent you or a loved one in a medical malpractice case, you can rest assured that we cannot make money unless we obtain monetary recovery for you or our client.
Our fees are often reduced in catastrophic situations. We truly believe it is your money and not ours. We will always reduce our fees in tragedies involving minor children.
In these cases, we advance all costs of investigation and litigation, and will not be reimbursed unless we are successful in settlement or at trial regardless of how much money we advance.
Our Pittsburgh law firm advances large sums of money with zero risk to our injured clients.
If you are injured, we will make any necessary accommodations to offer you the most convenient consultation possible. Whether you are at home or in a hospital, we will listen to the situation which caused your injury.
Our goal is to win your trust and business as your attorneys and to maximize all recoveries available under the law. There is absolutely no fee or cost for any of our free initial personal consultations. Consultations can be done in person, on-line or via telephone at 412.802.6666 or toll free at 1.877.744.3476.
