Pennsylvania Personal Injury Law

  • Statute of Limitations: Pennsylvania law (42 Pa. Cons. Stat. § 5524) gives you two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit.

  • Modified Comparative Negligence: This means you can recover damages if you are less than 50 percent at fault, but your award is reduced by your percentage of the blame. At 51 percent or more at fault, you collect nothing.

  • Full vs. Limited Tort Auto Policies: Limited‑tort drivers often can’t claim pain and suffering unless the injuries are “serious.” We dig for exceptions, such as an out‑of‑state car, a drunk driver, or a commercial vehicle, that unlock full damages even under limited tort.

  • Mandatory PIP Benefits: Every PA auto policy carries at least $5,000 in medical benefits. We coordinate PIP, health insurance, and any workers’ comp overlap to maximize your settlement.

Understanding these rules early keeps insurers from exploiting loopholes later.

What To Do After an Accident

  1. Report the Incident – If you are in a car accident, call 911 to initiate a police report. If you have been injured on another’s property, file an incident report with the property owner or manager on duty. This initial report is the backbone of any solid personal injury claim.

  2. Seek medical attention – Go to the ER or urgent care the same day for a medical evaluation. Adrenaline often hides injuries, but these records will help prove them.

  3. Document everything – Snap photos of the accident scene, vehicles or property involved, hazard spots, and visible injuries. Jot down witness names and phone numbers.

  4. Alert your insurer – You must notify the insurance company, but decline recorded statements until you have legal representation.

  5. Collect evidence – Medical bills, repair estimates, prescription receipts, and a daily pain journal with notes on pain levels, sleep issues, and missed activities. More proof provides more leverage for non‑economic damages.

  6. Call us for a free consultation – The sooner our experienced attorneys can get started, the stronger we can build your case to recover maximum financial compensation on your behalf.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long will my personal injury case take?

It’s challenging to provide a specific timeframe, as each case is unique and can vary significantly. However, please rest assured that we are committed to working diligently to expedite the process and move things along as quickly as possible.

Do I pay anything upfront to start a personal injury claim?

No. We offer a free case consultation. If you choose to move forward with our personal injury law firm, we will work on a contingency fee arrangement and advance all litigation costs on your behalf. Once we recover compensation, legal fees, and other expenses are deducted, and a check for the remaining amount is issued to you.

Can I change if I’m unhappy with my current personal injury attorney?

Yes. We handle the transfer at no added cost to you.

Why should I call a personal injury lawyer so soon?

Surveillance footage gets erased, skid marks fade, witnesses forget. Prompt action preserves evidence and maximizes the value of your personal injury case.
