Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Injured in Philadelphia? Pennsylvania gives you a limited window to act, and Philadelphia's courts and juries have their own dynamics. PaulsGuide helps you organize your claim once, understand your options, and compare attorneys who handle cases in the city — free, and without pressure to hire anyone.
Philadelphia personal injury lawsuits are filed in the Philadelphia County Court of Common Pleas. Crashes on I-95, the Schuylkill Expressway, Roosevelt Boulevard, and incidents involving SEPTA can add wrinkles — including shorter notice deadlines when a public entity is involved.
In most Pennsylvania personal injury cases you have two years from the date of injury to file (42 Pa.C.S. § 5524). Claims involving government entities can require written notice within six months.
Yes, as long as you were 50% or less at fault. Pennsylvania uses modified comparative negligence with a 51% bar, and your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault.
