What Is the Statute of Limitations on Car Accident Claims?

In the state of Pennsylvania, the statute of limitations for filing an injury claim after a car accident is two years. From the date of your accident, you only have two years during which to file your claim. If you miss this deadline, your case may never be heard. It's imperative that you discuss your case with an attorney as soon as possible if you want to pursue compensation through a personal injury lawsuit. Two years can pass by quickly. Don't let time prevent you from obtaining the compensation you justly deserve.
