Statute of Limitations for Car Accident Lawsuits in Armstrong County, PA

If you plan to file a lawsuit to pursue compensation, you will need to do so on time. Our firm can help you file your lawsuit based on the deadline that applies to your case. For example: 

• Personal injury lawsuits typically need to be filed within two years according to 42 Pa. C.S.A. § 5524(2)
• Wrongful death lawsuits need to be filed within two years of the date of the decedent’s death, per 42 Pa. C.S.A. § 5524(2)
• In the case of a minor, the statute of limitation is tolled so long as it is filed by the injured person’s 20th birthday.

You could also file a survival claim if your loved one passed away because of a car accident. This is different from a wrongful death lawsuit (and is often filed in addition to the wrongful death claim) because it could allow your family to recover damages suffered before your loved one passed away. Your Armstrong County car accident attorney can explain more about these lawsuit filing deadlines when you hire us. 

Evidence We Can Use To Support Your Car Accident Case

Your car accident attorney will need to prove another party’s negligence caused your accident before we can pursue compensation. We can do this by collecting evidence that points to their liability. There is a wide array of evidence that could be used in your case, such as:

• Dashboard camera or surveillance footage of the accident
• The other driver’s cell phone records or blood alcohol content (BAC)
• Copies of your medical records
• Photos and videos of your injuries
• Testimony from your friends and family as to the extent of your injuries
• Testimony and reports from accident reconstructionists
• Police reports
• Testimony from witnesses to the collision
• Video and photos of the surrounding property damages
• Vehicle repair estimates

Any evidence you have could be useful to your case. If you were not able to gather any evidence, we may be able to collect it for you.
