Frequently Asked Questions

Where are personal injury cases filed for Chadds Ford residents in Delaware County?

Personal injury cases involving Delaware County residents are filed at the Delaware County Court of Common Pleas at 201 W. Front Street in Media, Pennsylvania. The Court of Common Pleas handles civil cases above the Magisterial District Judge threshold and is where jury trials for contested personal injury claims occur. Cases involving relatively smaller damages may start at the Magisterial District Judge level but can be appealed to Common Pleas. An attorney familiar with Delaware County’s court procedures can advise on the most efficient venue for your specific claim.

How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Pennsylvania?

Pennsylvania sets a two-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims, running from the date of the accident or injury. For wrongful death claims, the two-year period generally starts from the date of death. If the injured party is a minor, the limitations period is tolled until they reach age 18. Missing this deadline almost always bars recovery. Because injuries sometimes worsen over weeks or months after an accident, consulting an attorney early — well before the deadline — protects your options and allows time to build a strong damages record.

What should I do immediately after a car accident in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania?

Seek medical attention immediately — even if injuries seem minor, some serious conditions like concussions or internal injuries do not present full symptoms right away. Document the scene with photographs of vehicle damage, road conditions, and any visible injuries. Collect the other driver’s insurance information and contact details for any witnesses. Report the accident to the Delaware County police or Pennsylvania State Police. Do not discuss fault at the scene or with the other driver’s insurance company before consulting an attorney. PennDOT maintains a crash information database that an attorney can access to supplement your documentation.
