What is the Statute of Limitations for a Pennsylvania Car Accident?

If you’ve been involved in a car accident in Pennsylvania, it’s important to be aware of the statute of limitations, which sets the deadline for filing a lawsuit. In Pennsylvania, the statute of limitations for car accident-related personal injury claims is two years from the date of the accident. This means that you have two years to file a lawsuit seeking compensation for any injuries or damages resulting from the accident. Failure to file within this time frame can result in losing your right to seek compensation.


Why is the Statute of Limitations Important?


Acting within the statute of limitations is critical because once the deadline has passed, the courts will likely dismiss your case. This makes it essential to act quickly in pursuing a personal injury claim after a car accident. Waiting too long can also weaken your case as evidence may fade, and witness memories become less reliable.
