Slip and fall lawyer Pennsylvania: your deadline

The first thing a Pennsylvania slip and fall lawyer checks is the clock. You have two years from the day you fell to file, under 42 Pa.C.S. § 5524.

Talks with the owner's insurer do not stop that clock. Only a lawsuit filed in court does.

How Pennsylvania splits the blame

Pennsylvania lets you collect if you were half to blame or less. Above that, the claim is barred. The rule is in 42 Pa.C.S. § 7102.

Say a jury values the case at $40,000 and finds you 20 percent to blame. You would receive $32,000.

Public property in Pennsylvania

A fall on government property needs written notice first: 6 months under 42 Pa.C.S. § 5522. Miss it and the claim against the government can be gone.

What your Pennsylvania case is worth

The value comes from your bills, lost pay, how long you hurt, and the fault split above.

Answer four quick questions; the Pennsylvania rule is already set.

How this number is built

Bills plus lost pay, plus an assumed pain allowance of one and a half to five times the bills by injury. Then the state's fault rule. Pennsylvania bars recovery only if you were more than half to blame. Policy limits, liens and future care are left out.

How Pennsylvania fall lawyers charge

Fall lawyers in Pennsylvania work on contingency. They take a share only if they recover money for you, and nothing if they do not.
