Understanding the Statute of Limitations in Reading, PA

One of the most critical aspects of pursuing an injury claim in Pennsylvania is understanding the statute of limitations, which sets strict deadlines for filing lawsuits. If you miss these deadlines, you may lose your right to compensation.

  • Personal Injury, Wrongful Death, and Medical Malpractice Claims: You generally have two years from the date of the injury (or date of death in wrongful death cases) to file a lawsuit. This deadline may extend for medical malpractice if the injury was not immediately discovered, but typically, claims must be filed within seven years of the negligent act.
  • Workers’ Compensation Claims: Report injuries to your employer within 120 days and file a claim petition within three years.
  • Vaccine Injury Claims: Governed by the federal VICP, with a three-year limit from the first injury symptom.

Missing these deadlines can prevent you from receiving the compensation you deserve. That’s why it is essential to consult with a seasoned Reading injury attorney as soon as possible after an accident or injury.
