What is the statute of limitations for personal injury in PA?
In Pennsylvania, you have two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. This deadline applies to car accidents, slip and falls, medical malpractice, and other negligence cases.
Key Exceptions:
* Government claims: 6-month notice required
* Minors: Clock starts at age 18 (until age 20 to file)
* Discovery rule: Deadline begins when injury is discovered
Miss the Deadline = Lost Rights
Courts will dismiss late cases and you lose all leverage with insurance companies. Your legal claim simply ceases to exist.
