How Long Do I Have to File a Wrongful Death Claim in Pennsylvania?

Statute of Limitations: In Pennsylvania, the statute of limitations for filing a wrongful death claim is generally two years from the date of the deceased’s death. This is outlined in the Pennsylvania Wrongful Death Act.
Exceptions: There are some exceptions that may extend or shorten this period, such as if the responsible party was a government entity, in which case shorter deadlines might apply.
Importance of Timeliness: It is crucial to file your claim within this timeframe to preserve your right to seek compensation. Delays can result in the loss of evidence and weaken your case.

How Do I Know If I Have a Personal Injury Case in Philadelphia?

Injury or Harm: You must have suffered physical, emotional, or financial harm due to another party's negligence or intentional misconduct. Common injuries include broken bones, head injuries, or emotional distress.
Negligence: Determine if another party’s negligence caused your injury. Negligence involves a failure to exercise reasonable care, such as a driver running a red light or a property owner failing to maintain safe conditions.
Causation: Establish a direct link between the negligent behavior and your injury. This means proving that the harm you suffered was a direct result of the other party’s actions.
Damages: Evaluate the damages you have incurred, such as medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. You need to quantify these damages to pursue compensation effectively.
Consult an Attorney: Personal injury lawyers offer free consultations to assess the viability of your case. They can help determine if you have a valid claim based on the specifics of your situation.
