What shapes a Philadelphia injury case
Philadelphia's roads are among the busiest in the state. I-95 and the Schuylkill Expressway carry heavy commuter and truck traffic, Roosevelt Boulevard has long had a reputation for dangerous crashes, and neighborhood streets are shared by buses, rideshare drivers, cyclists and pedestrians.
Many Philadelphia claims involve more than one insurer: a rideshare company, a commercial fleet, a property manager or a public transit agency. Claims against the city or a transit authority have short notice deadlines, which is one more reason to call early.
- Where a case is filed
- Lawsuits here are usually heard in the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County, at City Hall and the courts in Center City.
- The roads behind the claims
- Many local injury claims start on I-95, the Schuylkill Expressway (I-76), Roosevelt Boulevard and the city's crowded neighborhood streets.
- Two years to file
- In Pennsylvania you generally have two years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury lawsuit (42 Pa.C.S. 5524). Claims against a city, township or state agency can require written notice within six months, so call early.
- Shared fault does not end a claim
- Pennsylvania uses modified comparative negligence: you can recover as long as you were not more than 50 percent at fault, and your award is reduced by your share.

Questions
Philadelphia injury questions, answered
Has Virginia tried cases in Philadelphia?
Yes. She won a $1.76 million jury verdict in the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas on behalf of a survivor of sexual abuse. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
What if a city vehicle or transit bus was involved?
Claims against the city or a transit agency are possible but follow special rules, including written notice within six months in many cases. Call as soon as you can so no deadline is missed.
How long do I have to file an injury claim in Philadelphia?
In Pennsylvania you generally have two years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury lawsuit (42 Pa.C.S. 5524). Claims against a city, township or state agency can require written notice within six months, so call early.
Does my auto insurance choice affect a crash claim?
For car crashes, the tort option on your own auto policy matters. Limited tort can restrict pain and suffering claims unless the injury is serious, and there are exceptions worth checking before you give up on one.
What does it cost to talk to ViKing Law?
Nothing. The first consultation is free and confidential, and personal injury cases are handled on a contingency fee basis. Virginia will explain the fee agreement in plain language before you decide anything.
