About Berks County

Berks County is a county located in Southeastern Pennsylvania. Part of the Greater Philadelphia metro region, Berks County was named for the county in England where Pennsylvania founder William Penn came from, Berkshire, which was often shortened to “Berks.” The Schuylkill River flows through Berks County, which is home to two Pennsylvania state parks, Nolde Forest and French Creek State Park.

According to the Pennsylvania Department of Health, over 4,400 residents of Berks County were hospitalized for accidental/unintentional injuries in one recent year, including over 300 motor vehicle occupants.

Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury in Berks County

Pennsylvania’s statute of limitations typically gives you only two years to file a personal injury lawsuit to recover compensation from those liable for your injuries and losses. If you have a personal injury claim against the state government or a local government, the law also requires you to provide notice of your claim to the appropriate department or agency within six months of the date of your injury.
