In Pennsylvania, you generally have two years from the date of injury or from when you discovered the injury to file a lawsuit. This is called the statute of limitations. Missing this deadline can bar your claim.
Do I need a certificate of merit for a medical malpractice case in Pennsylvania?
Yes, Pennsylvania requires a certificate of merit in most medical malpractice cases. Your lawyer must file a statement from a qualified medical expert confirming that there is a reasonable basis for the claim. This must be done within 60 days of filing the complaint.
