Applicable law and resources
Pennsylvania sets a two-year deadline for most injury claims (42 Pa.C.S. § 5524) and applies modified comparative negligence (42 Pa.C.S. § 7102). Commercial vehicle cases add the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations on top of state law.
Nanticoke car accident FAQs
Do I have a claim if I chose limited tort?
Often yes. Limited tort still allows recovery of medical expenses and lost wages, and exceptions exist for serious impairment, DUI drivers and out-of-state vehicles.
Should I give the other insurer a recorded statement?
You are generally not required to. Early statements are frequently used to narrow a claim before the full injury is known.
This is general legal information, not legal advice for your situation.
