What is the Statute of Limitations for a Personal Injury Claim in Pennsylvania?

In Pennsylvania, the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim is generally two years from the date of the injury or accident. This means you have a two-year window to initiate legal action against the responsible party to seek compensation for your injuries and related damages. Remember that exceeding the statute of limitations typically bars you from filing a lawsuit unless you fall under an exception recognized by the law. Therefore, taking prompt action and seeking legal advice is crucial if you believe you have a valid personal injury claim.

It's important to note that there can be exceptions and variations to the statute of limitations depending on the specific circumstances of your case. For instance, different rules may apply if the injury was not immediately discovered or occurred due to medical malpractice. It is improtant to consult with a qualified Reading personal injury attorney to understand the specific details and exceptions that may pertain to your situation.

There are also general damages such as “pain and suffering,” lost of ability to perform certain functions, and even the loss of loved ones. Other damages and expenses include car rentals, funeral expenses, and emotional distress.

How To Prove Pain and Suffering

To prove pain and suffering, you should document the following:

  • Medical Records
  • Medical Bills
  • Medical Prognosis
  • Expert Testimony
  • Pictures of your Injury
  • Psychiatric Records

Should I Call a Lawyer Before The Insurance Company?

For many people, the first call they receive is from the other party’s insurance carrier, notifying them that they will receive compensation for their injuries.

You should never discuss your accident without a personal injury lawyer present, even on social media. Insurance companies are notorious for finding ways to reduce settlements by placing unfair blame on victims. Emkey Law Firm is here to ensure you get everything you need to recover.

  • Lost wages
  • Medical expenses
