What is Personal Injury?

Personal injury claims involve a person or group that acted negligently, causing someone to get seriously hurt. Every personal injury case is different. The facts, evidence, injuries involved, and the implications for the future vary with every situation.
Personal injury cases commonly involve:

Auto accidents involving cars, trucks, pedestrians, bicycles, buses, and motorcycles
Dog bites and attacks
Medical malpractice, including birth injuries, surgical errors, and incorrect medications
Nursing home abuse
Slip and fall incidents due to a property owner’s failure to properly maintain the premises
Workplace hazards & construction site accidents
Faulty products and dangerous medications
Wrongful death

Of course, an injury can happen anywhere someone acts negligently. Victims who get hurt can hold the responsible parties accountable and seek compensation for their related medical bills with the help of a skilled accident attorney.

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.
