Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions? We are here to help. Still have questions or can't find the answer you need? Give us a call at 215-610-3440 today!

  • The statute of limitations in Pennsylvania typically gives you only two years after sustaining injuries in an accident to file a personal injury lawsuit against those responsible. However, if you have a claim against the state government or a local government, the law obligates you to provide notice of your claim to the relevant department or agency within six months of your injury. Because you may have limited time to file your personal injury claim, talk to a Chester County personal injury lawyer as soon as possible to ensure you can timely prepare and file your case.
  • You should not assume that you don’t have a personal injury case if you don’t feel any pain or other symptoms of injury right after an accident. Many accident injuries do not begin manifesting pain or other symptoms for days or weeks after an accident due to the adrenaline rush that comes from the excitement and stress of an accident. You should begin preparing to pursue a personal injury claim right after an accident even if you don’t think you’ve been injured, since you may begin to experience symptoms in the days and weeks following an accident.
