Where Delaware County Accidents Happen
Delaware County packs a lot of traffic into a small area. Commuters, trucks and local drivers share busy corridors every day, including:
- US-1, the Baltimore Pike and the Media Bypass
- I-476, the Blue Route
- I-95 through Chester and Ridley
- Route 3, West Chester Pike
- Route 252 (Providence Road) and Route 320
- State Street and Baltimore Avenue in downtown Media
Fast highway merges, crowded shopping centers and older suburban roads all add risk. Pedestrians and SEPTA riders are exposed too, around the Media/Wawa Regional Rail line and the trolley lines that run through the county.
What Pennsylvania Law Means for Your Claim
A few state rules can make or break an injury case. Knowing them early protects your rights.
You Have Two Years to File
In most cases, you must file a personal injury lawsuit within two years of the accident. Claims against SEPTA, PennDOT or a local government are stricter: you usually must give written notice within six months.
Pennsylvania uses modified comparative negligence. You can recover compensation as long as you were not more than 50% at fault, but your award is reduced by your share of the blame.
Limited Tort vs. Full Tort
If you chose limited tort on your auto policy, your right to sue for pain and suffering after a car accident may be restricted. There are important exceptions, including serious injuries. Learn more about limited tort in Pennsylvania.
Where Your Case Is Heard
Injury lawsuits arising in Delaware County are usually filed in the Delaware County Court of Common Pleas, located at the courthouse in Media.
Don’t Go It Alone with the Insurance Company
The insurance adjuster may seem friendly, but their job is to pay as little as possible. Before you speak with them, keep these points in mind:
- Do not give a recorded statement or sign anything before talking to a lawyer.
- Get medical care right away and follow your treatment plan. Some injuries, like whiplash and concussions, get worse over time.
- Keep records of medical bills, missed work and how your injuries affect daily life.
- Do not accept a quick settlement. Once you sign a release, you cannot ask for more.
We deal with the insurers for you and fight for full compensation, including medical bills, lost wages and pain and suffering. Read more about why you shouldn’t trust the insurance company after an accident.
