Statutes of Limitations for Personal Injury Claims in Pennsylvania

In most cases in Pennsylvania, you have two years to file a personal injury lawsuit. But you must consider the time it takes to develop a proper legal claim. You should not waste any time getting started.

Pennsylvania law describing statutes of limitations on pursuing compensation for injury says the two-year limit on most cases of personal injury or property damage starts when the injury “becomes apparent or ought reasonably to have become apparent,” whichever comes first. Regardless, a claim must be filed within 10 years of the last act of the defendant that is pertinent to the claim.

The deadline for filing a personal injury claim in a case about a faulty consumer product, such as a defective medical device, is 12 years from the initial purchase or use of the product. The statute of limitations for a wrongful death claim is two years.

Developing a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit is a complex and time-consuming process.
