Legal Question in Personal Injury in Pennsylvania

Re: Daycare Negligence

The Statute of Limitations is two years. However, since she was a minor, the two years does not begin until she turns 18.

Re: Daycare Negligence

Under Pennsylvania law injured children can sue for personal injury in most circumstances until two years after they reach their 18th birthday.

Re: Daycare Negligence

All of the postings regarding the statute of limitations are correct. Under NJ law the same would apply, you have up until 2 years following her 18th birthday.

The issue really at this point is whther you can prove a case. The mere fact your daughter was injured is unfortunately not enough. We have to prove that there was negligence in the supervision of your child or maintenance of the property. There has to be a causal connection between some act of failure to act and the accident/injury.

If the accident occurred in NJ, you will almost certainly need a NJ attorney. We would be happy to review this with you without cost or obligation.

I hope that this answers your questions. I can be reached at 800-34 NJ LAW. Adam L. Rothenberg.

Re: Daycare Negligence

Your daughter has until her 20th birthday to file a formal lawsuit with the court in Pennsylvania. However, at this point I would not wait any longer. It may be a problem if the day care center goes out of business. You should speak with an experienced personal injury lawyer. My office has handled these types of case for over 25 years. Please call me if you would like to discuss this case. There is no charge for a consultation, & no fee is charged unless we recover money. Good luck!!
