A medical malpractice case in Pennsylvania cannot proceed on a bad outcome alone. A qualified professional has to review the records and put an opinion in writing, and that document has to be filed within sixty days of the complaint. Here is what Rule 1042.3 requires, who can sign the statement behind it, and why the requirement matters long before anyone files.

Most people who fall in a store get up, say they are fine, and leave before anything is documented. Hours later the pain sets in, the spill is gone, and the business has no record of the incident. Here is what to do in the first hour, how Pennsylvania premises liability works, and why the security footage matters more than the two-year deadline.

Most personal injury claims in Pennsylvania have to be filed within two years of the injury, and courts enforce that deadline strictly. There are exceptions, including a six-month notice requirement for claims against government entities and a different timeline for injured children. Here is how the deadline works and why waiting becomes a problem long before it arrives.

This article covers the signs that are worth a closer look.

Most people assume the driver who caused the crash pays their medical bills, but Pennsylvania does not work that way. The bills usually start with the injured person's own policy, and the required minimum is only $5,000. Understanding the order in which those bills get paid determines how much of the cost an injured person ends up carrying.
