Recovering Compensation for Losses After an Accident in Pennsylvania

If an injured person can prove negligence, they can hold the at-fault party financially responsible for losses such as:

  • Medical expenses
  • Lost work income, including lost capacity to work in the future
  • Damaged and/or lost personal property
  • Lost consortium with a spouse
  • Lost enjoyment of life and other long-term effects of permanent disability/disfigurement
  • Physical pain
  • Emotional and psychological trauma

Working with a well-known and respected personal injury attorney and law firm in Pennsylvania will improve an injured party’s chances of success.

Possible Restrictions on Recovery Under State Law

State law does not grant injured parties unlimited time to file their lawsuit. Under 42 Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes §5524, the deadline for most personal injury claims is two years from the date of the accident. However, there are some rare exceptions to this time limit.
Additionally, 42 Pa.C.S. §7102 states that injuries parties who are found more at fault for their damages than all defendants in their claim combined are ineligible to recover any compensation. Those who bear some degree of fault are subject to a reduction in payment based on their percentage of liability.
