What Is a Personal Injury Case?

A personal injury case is a civil lawsuit filed by someone who has been injured due to the negligence of someone else. The negligence may be the result of a person's actions or inaction, or it may be due to a company's policies or procedures. In a personal injury case, the victim—the person who has been injured—sues the responsible party, seeking compensation for their injuries.

Common types of personal injury cases include:

How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Lawsuit in Adams County?

Every state has a statute of limitations on personal injury claims. This is the amount of time you have to file a lawsuit. In Pennsylvania, the statute of limitations is two years. That means you have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit seeking compensation for your injuries. If you do not file your lawsuit within that two-year window, the court will likely refuse to hear your case and you will be unable to pursue compensation for your injuries.

There are a few exceptions to this rule. For example, if you did not discover your injuries until some time after the accident, you would have two years from the date you discovered the injury to file a lawsuit. Additionally, if the victim of the accident is a minor, the two-year clock does not start ticking until they turn 18.

While two years may seem like a long time, it goes by quickly. It is important to speak to a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible after an accident so they can help you understand your legal options and start working on your case.

What Compensation Can I Recover?

When you are injured in an accident, you can suffer a wide range of injuries. Some of these injuries may be minor, while others can be catastrophic and life-changing. You may need to be hospitalized for weeks or months and need ongoing medical care. You may be unable to work and earn a paycheck, and you may even be permanently disabled and unable to work at all. You may suffer from depression, anxiety, and other emotional and psychological injuries.

• Medical expenses
