Western Pennsylvania Car Accident Lawyers Highlights Key Timelines in Pennsylvania Car-Accident Lawsuits
Pennsylvania law imposes strict filing deadlines, known as statutes of limitations, which define how long victims have to pursue legal action. According to the Western Pennsylvania car accident lawyers of LGKG, most personal injury claims resulting from negligence must be filed within two years from the date of the accident under 42 Pa. Con. Stat. Ann. 5524. Missing this deadline can permanently bar a victim's right to compensation, regardless of the severity of the injuries or the strength of the case. In addition, claims involving government entities carry even shorter notice requirements, sometimes as brief as six months, making early consultation with a qualified attorney essential.
Western Pennsylvania car accident lawyers play a pivotal role in managing both the filing and resolution timelines. The resolution phase, which spans from initial investigation through settlement or trial, can last several months to years, depending on various factors. These include the extent of injuries, the clarity of liability, and the willingness of insurance companies to negotiate in good faith. Straightforward cases may settle within months, while challenging claims involving catastrophic injuries, multiple defendants, or disputed liability often extend well beyond two years.
LGKG's approach emphasizes thorough preparation and strong advocacy at every stage. As a Board-Certified Civil Trial Specialist by the National Board of Trial Advocacy, he has guided countless victims through these challenging processes. His leadership roles, including serving as President of the Pennsylvania Association for Justice and past President of the Western Pennsylvania Trial Lawyers Association, reflect his long-standing commitment to advancing victims' rights across the Commonwealth.
Knowing how Pennsylvania's "choice no-fault" system influences car accident claims is also vital. Under this framework, drivers select between Full Tort and Limited Tort coverage, each of which carries significant implications for the scope of recoverable damages. Full Tort preserves the right to recover both economic and non-economic damages, while Limited Tort restricts recovery for pain and suffering unless the injury meets Pennsylvania's definition of "serious." A Western Pennsylvania car accident lawyer can identify exceptions within the law that may restore Full Tort rights, including cases involving uninsured drivers or intoxicated at-fault motorists.
Timely and accurate case management can make a decisive difference in the outcome of a claim. Attorneys at Luxenberg Garbett Kelly & George P.C. emphasize evidence preservation, prompt medical evaluation, and proactive negotiation to prevent delays caused by uncooperative insurers or procedural oversights. Clear documentation, including police reports and medical records, accelerates the process and strengthens the claim's value.
The firm encourages accident victims not to wait until deadlines loom. Consulting with an attorney immediately after a crash ensures compliance with statutory requirements and maximizes the opportunity for a favorable resolution. As Attorney Kelly notes, "The statute of limitations is not just a date on a calendar-it's a crucial factor that can determine whether justice is even possible."
