What Is the Statute of Limitations for Car Accident Claims?
In Pennsylvania, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a car accident claim. We can help you navigate the claims process with care and efficiency to file a timely claim within the appropriate deadline and maintain eligibility for damages.
Proving Liability in a Car Accident Claim
The plaintiff bears the burden of proof in car accident claims, meaning you are responsible for proving negligence by a preponderance of the evidence. In other words, you must show that the defendant’s negligence “more likely than not” caused your injuries to occur.
We can help you establish the following key elements to meet the standard of proof in your case:
- Duty of care. The defendant owed you a duty of care, such as obeying traffic signs and respecting posted speed limits.
- Breach of duty. The defendant breached their duty through negligence, such as running a red light or driving while impaired.
- Causation. The accident and injuries would not have occurred if not for the defendant’s negligence.
- Damages. The victim suffered actual harm or damages as a result of the defendant’s breach.
In some cases, more than one party may be liable for damages in a car accident claim. Our attorneys can identify all potentially responsible parties, gather evidence of negligence, and pursue the maximum compensation you are entitled to under the law.

Recovering from a car accident can be overwhelming, especially when dealing with medical expenses, lost income, and insurance adjusters. Our attorneys help you pursue maximum compensation by:
- Investigating the accident. We can collect evidence, interview witnesses, and reconstruct the crash to show how it happened and who is responsible.
- Calculating damages. From medical treatment to lost wages, we can calculate the full scope of damages to make sure nothing is overlooked.
