🚨 MYTH vs. FACT: Injured by SEPTA or a Philadelphia city agency?
Many people assume that if they’re injured, they automatically have 2 years to file a personal injury lawsuit. While Pennsylvania generally has a two-year statute of limitations for many personal injury claims, claims involving government entities can have additional requirements and much shorter deadlines.
For example, if you are injured in connection with a SEPTA bus, a Philadelphia city vehicle, or a defective city sidewalk, you may be required to provide formal written notice of your claim to the appropriate government agency within 6 months of the accident.
⚠️ Why does this matter?
Waiting until the two-year deadline could be too late. If the required notice is not provided within the applicable timeframe, you may risk losing your ability to pursue the claim altogether.
If you’ve been injured in an accident involving SEPTA, a Philadelphia city vehicle, or a city-owned property, it’s important to understand what deadlines and notice requirements may apply to your specific situation.
Don’t wait until it’s too late to find out. Contact Quinn Law Group to discuss your potential claim.
