We represent injured people and families from Westmoreland County. Flaherty Fardo Rogel & Amick has handled injury and malpractice cases since 1997. Our one office is in Sewickley, in Allegheny County, and we serve Westmoreland County clients from there.
For people in Greensburg, Latrobe, Jeannette, Irwin, North Huntingdon, Hempfield, Murrysville, Lower Burrell, New Kensington and the rest of the county, we handle medical malpractice, serious personal injury and wrongful death cases. Our firm has obtained verdicts, settlements and awards for clients in Westmoreland County and in counties across Pennsylvania.
A lawsuit over an injury that happened in Westmoreland County is often filed in:
Court of Common Pleas of Westmoreland County
Tenth Judicial District of Pennsylvania
Westmoreland County Courthouse
2 North Main Street, Greensburg, PA 15601
Pennsylvania’s venue rules decide which county a lawsuit belongs in. In general, a case can be filed in the county where the injury happened (the place where the “cause of action arose”). It may also be filed where an individual defendant can be served, or where a business defendant has its main office or regularly does business. Medical malpractice cases follow the same general venue rules as other cases; the special malpractice venue rule was rescinded effective January 1, 2023. Choosing the right court is one of the first decisions we make with you.
Westmoreland County’s main routes include Route 30 (the Lincoln Highway), the Pennsylvania Turnpike, I-70, Route 22 and Route 66. Route 30 in particular mixes highway speeds with frequent signals, entrances and turning traffic.
After a crash, the first steps are the same everywhere: medical care, a police report, photographs, witness names and every insurance letter. See our car accident and motorcycle accident guides.
Hospitals in the county include Westmoreland Hospital in Greensburg, Latrobe Hospital and Frick Hospital. Many Westmoreland County patients are also treated at hospitals in Pittsburgh.
Naming a hospital here is for orientation only. It does not suggest that any hospital or provider did anything wrong. Most care is good care; a malpractice case exists only when care falls below accepted standards and causes harm.

Often in the Court of Common Pleas of Westmoreland County, at the courthouse at 2 North Main Street in Greensburg. If a defendant is based in or regularly does business in another county, venue may also be proper there.
In Pennsylvania, most personal injury, medical malpractice and wrongful death claims must be filed within two years (42 Pa.C.S. § 5524). If a government agency or public employee may be responsible, written notice is generally required within six months (42 Pa.C.S. § 5522). Exceptions can shorten or extend these deadlines, so call us early rather than late.
