Pennsylvania's Statute of Limitations for Dog Bite Cases
Statutes of limitations restrict the time period that a person can file a dog bite lawsuit. Pennsylvania provides limitations periods for particular causes of action; specifically, those related to personal injury, such as dog attack lawsuits.
Personal Injury Actions for Dog Attack Claims
In Pennsylvania you must file a personal injury action within two years of the date when the dog bite injuries occurred. Contact an experienced personal injury dog bite lawyer soon! Pennsylvania does have a "discovery rule," which, in limited cases, extends the time for filing a personal injury lawsuit, but it is best to begin immediately. Under the discovery rule, the statute of limitations will begin to run at the time the plaintiff knows, or should have known, that he or she was injured and that the personal injury was caused by another's conduct.
Children and PA Dog Bite Lawsuits
Except in cases of a dog attack that results in wrongful death, "unemancipated minors" must file Pennsylvania dog bite lawsuits within two years of their 18th birthday. An "unemancipated minor" is a person under 18 who is not totally self-supporting. In cases where the minor is emancipated, or totally self-supporting, at the time of the personal injury, he or she must file a suit within two years of the date when the injury occurred.
Wrongful Death
A cause of action for wrongful death in dog bite lawsuits starts to accrue on the date of death and must be filed within two years of that date.
