  • In Pennsylvania, the statute of limitations typically requires you to file your personal injury lawsuit within two years of the date that you were injured. In addition, if your personal injury claim is against the state government or a local government, the law requires you to file a notice of your claim with the appropriate department or agency within six months of your injury. Because you may have limited time to file your personal injury claim, talk to a Southwest Philadelphia personal injury lawyer as soon as possible after an accident to ensure you can file your claims on time.

  • While we cannot predict whether or how long it will take for you to receive compensation, some of the factors that can affect the timeline of a personal injury claim include the severity of your injuries, how long your treatment and rehabilitation takes, the complexity of the evidence and issues in your case, the availability of insurance coverage, whether liability is contested, and how quickly the insurance company investigates and responds to your claim. When you turn to van der Veen, Hartshorn and Levin for help with your personal injury case, you can expect your Southwest Philadelphia personal injury lawyer to keep you updated on the progress of your case.

About Southwest Philadelphia

Southwest Philadelphia is a section of the city of Philadelphia west of the Schuylkill River and south of Baltimore Avenue, bounded on the west by the city line. Southwest Philadelphia includes much of what was Kingsessing Township until the mid-19th century when the city of Philadelphia was expanded to include all of Philadelphia County. The section is home to Philadelphia International Airport and much of the city’s heavy industry.

According to the Pennsylvania Department of Health, more than 13,000 residents of Philadelphia were hospitalized for accidental injuries in one recent year.

He kept me informed, he kept me up to date with everything that was going on throughout the process. What doctor, what appointments, who I have to see…I was always very well informed." -Sam
    "He represented me in multiple criminal cases, and I had a lengthy criminal record. He never judged me, and treated me like anybody else, he never looked at me different. He's a real good guy, professional, very honest. When I say I never went to another attorney...he's the best." -Tiffany
    "I love that I have Mike on my side, whenever I question what am I supposed to do? I used to call my dad and after my dad passed, even for things that aren’t always law related, I know I could still call Mike, and I love that about him. He’s just amazing, and I know that if I send somebody here that they’re going to be represented a hundred percent." -Jamie
