Frequently Asked Questions About Pennsylvania Personal Injury Claims
Seek medical care, report the incident, photograph the scene and injuries if safe, collect witness and insurance information, preserve damaged property, and avoid giving a recorded statement or signing a release before receiving legal advice.
Many Pennsylvania personal injury and wrongful-death actions are subject to a two-year limitations period, but exceptions and much shorter notice requirements may apply, particularly in claims involving government entities. Contact an attorney promptly rather than relying on a general deadline.
Depending on the facts, recoverable damages may include medical expenses, lost income, reduced earning capacity, pain and suffering, disability, disfigurement, property damage, and future care. The available damages depend on liability, insurance, causation, and proof of loss.
You should promptly report a claim when required, but be cautious about detailed or recorded statements. An adjuster may use your words to dispute fault, the seriousness of your injuries, or the need for treatment. You may ask to speak with an attorney first.
There is no reliable value without reviewing the evidence. Important factors include the nature and permanence of the injury, medical treatment, lost wages, future needs, insurance coverage, fault, credibility, and how the injury affects daily life.
Many claims settle, but a fair resolution may require filing a lawsuit and preparing for trial. An attorney can gather evidence, calculate losses, negotiate with insurers, and advise whether a settlement reflects the risks and value of the claim.
