Personal injury cases generally have a two-year statute of limitations in Pennsylvania. However, the Discovery rule allows for the two-year countdown to begin when the plaintiff discovers an injury for which another party is at fault, or at a time when the plaintiff should have, within reason, known of the injury. If a child under the age of 18 is injured, the two-year limit doesn’t apply until their 18th birthday. Please note, however, that each case is unique and VSCP LAW cannot determine how long you may have to file a claim until we speak with you and assess your individual claim. For this reason, you should contact an attorney at VSCP LAW immediately to determine how long you have to file your individual claim.
