Westmoreland County Medical Malpractice Lawyers Fight to Protect Patients Harmed by Negligence in Lower Burrell
When we require medical treatment to take care of a condition, injury, or illness, we expect that the care we receive will help us recover to the fullest extent possible. However, in rare cases, a healthcare provider may render negligent care or treatment that can worsen a patient’s condition or even inflict a new illness or injury. If a healthcare provider’s actions or omissions rise to the level of medical malpractice under Pennsylvania law, you have the right to recover compensation for your financial losses incurred as a result of the harm you’ve suffered, such as your medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Medical malpractice can be committed by any healthcare professional in any kind of setting, such as a hospital, surgical treatment, facility, nursing home, or doctor’s office. Examples of medical malpractice that our attorneys have seen in their decades of experience include:
- Performing a surgery or other medical procedure without obtaining valid informed consent from the patient or their representative
- Performing a surgery or other procedure without relevant training and skills needed to competently perform the procedure
- Failure to diagnose, delayed diagnosis, or misdiagnosis
- Prescribing or administering the wrong medication or the wrong dosage of medication
- Birth injuries, such as failing to perform a C-section or failing to monitor the condition of mother and child during pregnancy and delivery
- Surgical errors, like performing surgery on the wrong site, performing the wrong surgical procedure, or leaving equipment inside a patient
Any incident of medical malpractice can cause significant harm to a patient, even death in extreme cases. This is why our attorneys strive to ensure that our clients receive the compensation and justice they deserve by holding negligent healthcare professionals responsible for their mistakes that cause harm to patients.

About Lower Burrell, PA
Lower Burrell is a city in Westmoreland County, located approximately 18 miles northeast of Pittsburgh. In the 1760s, European settlers began settling in the area where present-day Lower Burrell is located. Burrell Township was created from portions of Allegheny Township in 1852; in 1879, Burrell Township was divided into Upper Burrell and Lower Burrell. The present-day cities of New Kensington and Arnold were subsequently carved from Lower Burrell. While Upper Burrell remained a somewhat rural community, Lower Burrell developed into a residential and commercial area. Lower Burrell continued to grow until the 1980s, when it became the victim of the collapse of heavy industries in Western Pennsylvania. Since the 1990s, Lower Burrell has experienced a slight economic rebound from the lows of the 1980s.
