For instance, in Pennsylvania personal injuries, such as car accidents, you generally have two years from the date of your accident to file claims. Nevertheless, certain claims may be subjected to the discovery rule. This means that the statute of limitation does not start until the injury is discovered, or at least, should have been discovered.

To estimate the value of a claim for general damages, lawyers and insurers typically begin by calculating the total for medical special damages, and then add on the value of any income losses. They will then multiply that number by a range of numbers ranging from 1.5 to 5. More severe injuries generally result in greater multipliers.

Liability
