Understanding Pennsylvania Injury Laws That Affect Your Hershey Case
Pennsylvania has specific laws that can significantly impact your injury case. Our Hershey personal injury lawyers have deep knowledge of these laws and how they apply to your situation:
Statute of Limitations
In Pennsylvania, you generally have two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. Missing this deadline can bar your claim forever. For cases involving Hershey attractions or businesses, it's crucial to act quickly to preserve evidence and meet all deadlines.
Comparative Negligence
Pennsylvania follows a modified comparative negligence rule, meaning your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault. If you're found more than 51% responsible, you cannot recover damages. Our attorneys work to minimize any assignment of fault to maximize your recovery.
No-Fault Insurance
Pennsylvania has a choice no-fault insurance system for auto accidents, which affects how and when you can pursue claims against at-fault drivers. Our attorneys navigate these complex insurance rules to ensure you receive all available compensation after a Hershey car accident.
Governmental Immunity
Claims against Hershey public entities may be subject to special rules under the Pennsylvania Political Subdivision Tort Claims Act. These claims have different notice requirements and damage caps. Our attorneys understand these complexities and ensure all procedural requirements are met.

Your attorneys fought hard for me and secured a settlement that was five times the initial offer. I can now focus on my recovery without financial stress."

Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury Cases in Hershey
Our Hershey personal injury attorneys work on a contingency fee basis. This means you pay no upfront costs or hourly fees. We only get paid if we win your case, typically taking a percentage of your final settlement or court award. This arrangement ensures everyone can access quality legal representation regardless of their financial situation.
The duration of a personal injury case in Hershey varies depending on several factors, including the severity of injuries, clarity of liability, insurance company cooperation, and court schedules. Simple cases might settle in a few months, while complex cases involving severe injuries or disputed liability could take one to two years, especially if a trial is necessary. Our attorneys work diligently to resolve your case as efficiently as possible while ensuring you receive maximum compensation.
In Hershey personal injury cases, you may be entitled to various types of compensation, including:
- Medical expenses (past and future)
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Property damage
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- In some cases, punitive damages
Our attorneys carefully calculate all potential damages to ensure you receive fair and comprehensive compensation.
You should never accept an insurance company's initial settlement offer without consulting an attorney. Insurance companies typically offer low initial settlements hoping you'll accept before understanding the full extent of your injuries and damages. Our Hershey personal injury attorneys can evaluate whether an offer is fair based on your specific injuries, recovery prognosis, and all applicable damages. We've frequently secured settlements many times higher than initial offers.
Pennsylvania follows a modified comparative negligence rule, meaning you can still recover damages even if you were partially at fault for your accident, as long as you're less than 51% responsible. However, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you're deemed 20% at fault and your damages total $100,000, you would receive $80,000. Our attorneys work to minimize your assigned percentage of fault to maximize your recovery.
