Pennsylvania Spinal Cord Injury Laws

Pennsylvania spinal cord injury claims follow negligence law with a two-year statute of limitations. Modified comparative negligence (51% bar) applies. PA does not cap compensatory damages. For auto accident spinal cord injuries, the choice no-fault system applies, but spinal cord injuries easily meet the serious injury threshold for full tort recovery. Life care planning and expert medical testimony are critical components.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the statute of limitations for spinal cord injury in PA?

Two years from the date of injury. These complex cases require extensive expert development — contact an attorney immediately.

Does PA’s no-fault system affect spinal cord injury claims?

Spinal cord injuries clearly qualify as serious injuries, so even limited tort policyholders retain full rights to sue for all damages.

What compensation is available for quadriplegia in Pennsylvania?

Quadriplegia claims typically involve millions of dollars in damages including lifetime medical care, 24/7 nursing, adaptive equipment, home modifications, lost earnings, and pain and suffering. These are among the highest-value personal injury cases.

Can I file a spinal cord injury claim for a workplace accident?

Workers’ comp provides basic benefits, but third-party claims against responsible parties (contractors, equipment manufacturers, property owners) can provide full compensation including pain and suffering — which workers’ comp does not cover.

What is a life care plan for spinal cord injury?

A life care plan is an expert-prepared document projecting all medical, rehabilitation, equipment, home modification, and personal assistance needs for the victim’s remaining lifetime. It is the foundation of the damages calculation in spinal cord injury cases.
