In most cases, you have two years to bring a lawsuit against the property owner or occupant responsible for injuries. Pennsylvania law has a two-year statute of limitations for personal injury cases, as well as wrongful death claims if you lost a loved one from a slip and fall injury.
The two year statute of limitations sets an outside time limit on taking legal action. It does not, however, mean you should wait two years before contacting a lawyer. The sooner you retain an experienced Philadelphia slip and fall lawyer to represent you, the better your chances of recovering the money you need and deserve for the harm done to you.
