About McKeesport, PA

McKeesport is located in the Pittsburgh metropolitan area in Pennsylvania and is currently the second-largest city in Allegheny County with a population of about 19,245. McKeesport was initially settled by Scottish immigrants, the McKee family, who were drawn to the area in 1755 because it sits on the intersection of two rivers—the Monongahela and Youghiogheny rivers. This was the impetus for McKeesport’s name—the area was originally known as McKee’s Port. More recently, McKeesport was known as an industrial hub for steel manufacturing, although many steel plants in the area closed in the 1980s.

Frequently Asked Questions About Medical Malpractice Claims in McKeesport, PA

Will I have to go to trial to recover compensation in a McKeesport, PA medical malpractice case?

Not always. Many hospitals and healthcare providers would prefer to settle a case rather than enduring the time and expense of a lengthy trial that could even generate adverse publicity for their facility. Despite this, we are always prepared to take our cases to trial unless we are able to obtain a full and fair settlement for your harm. Settling out of court is a viable option in some cases, but it is important to understand that some medical professionals will be unwilling to admit liability because of the fact that the admission could significantly damage their future career prospects.

What is the difference between economic and non-economic damages in a McKeesport medical malpractice case?

Available compensation in a medical malpractice lawsuit is divided into three primary forms of compensation: economic damage, non-economic damages, and punitive damages, which are only available in especially shocking cases and are designed to punish the doctor involved. Economic damages represent the actual financial cost of the malpractice to the victim and include your medical expenses, funeral expenses, lost wages when you cannot work because of the harm you suffered, etc. Non-economic damages are more subjective and intangible and require expert testimony as to how the malpractice impacted your life. Non-economic damages in medical malpractice cases include things like pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of companionship, loss of financial support, loss of enjoyment of life and more.
