Pennsylvania Laws & Statutes
General Rules (apply to most injury claims)
- Two‑year deadline to sue. Most PA personal‑injury and wrongful‑death claims must be filed within 2 years. What this means: Waiting can bar your case. 42 Pa.C.S. § 5524.
- Comparative negligence (51% bar). Recovery is reduced by your share of fault and barred at 51% or more. What this means: You can still recover if you’re ≤50% at fault. 42 Pa.C.S. § 7102.
- Wrongful death & survival. Families bring wrongful‑death claims; the estate brings survival claims. What this means: Two separate remedies for different losses. 42 Pa.C.S. §§ 8301–8302.
- Government defendants (caps & exceptions). Caps apply to the Commonwealth and local agencies; liability is limited except for statutory exceptions. What this means: Special limits and rules if a government entity is involved. 42 Pa.C.S. §§ 8522, 8528, 8542, 8553.
Car, Truck & Motorcycle
- Minimum auto liability (“15/30/5”). What this means: At‑fault drivers may carry only the minimum; UM/UIM matters. 75 Pa.C.S. § 1702.
- Limited vs. full tort; “serious injury.” Limited tort restricts pain‑and‑suffering unless you meet a serious injury threshold. What this means: Your pre‑crash election affects non‑economic damages. 75 Pa.C.S. §§ 1705, 1702.
- First‑party medical (PIP). At least $5,000 medical benefits are required—motorcycles are excluded. What this means: Bikers don’t get mandatory PIP by default. 75 Pa.C.S. § 1711.
- UM/UIM & stacking. Optional coverage; stacking allowed unless waived. What this means: Stacking can increase protection after a serious crash. 75 Pa.C.S. §§ 1731, 1738.
- 30‑day payment rule (12% interest). Overdue first‑party benefits accrue 12% interest; fees possible for unreasonable denials. What this means: Insurers must pay promptly after proof of loss. 75 Pa.C.S. § 1716.
- Seat‑belt non‑use not admissible. What this means: “No seat belt” can’t be used to prove negligence or reduce damages. 75 Pa.C.S. § 4581(e).
- Crash reporting. Injury, death, or tow‑away requires immediate police notice; if no investigation, a 5‑day driver report is required. What this means: File the report to protect your claim record. 75 Pa.C.S. §§ 3746–3747.
- Hands‑free law (“Paul Miller’s Law”). Handheld device use while driving is banned (primary offense), phased in with warnings first. What this means: Phone‑in‑hand can support negligence and a ticket. Act 18 of 2024; 75 Pa.C.S. §§ 3316, 3316.1.
- Motorcycle helmets & eye protection. Requirements with statutory exceptions; eye protection required. What this means: Compliance impacts safety and claims. 75 Pa.C.S. § 3525.

- App ON, no passenger. At least $50,000 per person / $100,000 per incident BI and $25,000 PD plus first‑party medical (pedestrians $25,000; driver $5,000). What this means: Enhanced coverage once the driver is “available.” 53 Pa.C.S. § 57A07(b).
- During a prearranged ride. At least $500,000 (combined liability) plus first‑party medical (passengers/pedestrians $25,000; driver $5,000). What this means: Active trips have higher limits. 53 Pa.C.S. § 57A07(c).
- Proof of coverage & status. Drivers must carry proof and disclose app status after a crash. What this means: Determines which policy applies. 53 Pa.C.S. § 57A07(j).
