About Beaver, PA
The borough of Beaver is the county seat of Beaver County, Pennsylvania. It is located at the confluence of the Beaver and Ohio Rivers approximately 30 miles northwest of Pittsburgh. Beaver was initially the site of Fort McIntosh, a Revolutionary War-era frontier fort and garrison. After the war, the frontier shifted westward and the fort was dismantled, with Beaver laid out in its place. Beaver experienced explosive growth beginning in the 1880s when the Pittsburgh and Lake Erie Railroad built a rail line through the area.
Frequently Asked Questions about Beaver, PA Medical Malpractice Cases
Under Pennsylvania law, the statute of limitations for medical malpractice is two years from the date upon which the patient discovers his or her injuries (or the date on which the patient should have discovered his or her injuries). For example, if you go in for an examination that should have revealed you were suffering from a condition or disease, and the condition or disease is not diagnosed for another two years, the statute of limitations would begin to run from the date that you are diagnosed and learn that your earlier examination should have led to a diagnosis.
Pennsylvania law does not impose caps on compensatory damages, which include medical expenses, lost wages, lost earning potential, pain and suffering, loss of quality of life, or loss of consortium. The law does impose limits on punitive damages; however, such damages are only awarded in the rarest of medical malpractice cases when a healthcare professional’s conduct is malicious or particularly egregious. Pennsylvania law caps punitive damages at two times the awarded compensatory damages.
