For victims who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.myphillylawyer.com\/yue\/practice-areas\/vehicle-accidents\/pedestrian-accidents\/\">suffer injuries in a pedestrian accident<\/a>, they may end up with unexpected financial burdens such as medical bills and lost wages. They can seek compensation for their damages from the at-fault driver. However, they must make sure that they do not let the deadline pass for filing their claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pennsylvania law sets statutes of limitations, which are time limits for victims to file a claim for their accidents. Failure to meet the statute of limitation bars the injured party from ever filing a lawsuit for that accident. A person who suffers injuries from a pedestrian accident has two years from the date of the accident to file a claim or lawsuit against the at-fault party to recover damages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Other Pedestrian Accident FAQs:<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"list-pages-shortcode sibling-pages\"><li class=\"page_item page-item-8386\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.myphillylawyer.com\/yue\/practice-areas\/vehicle-accidents\/pedestrian-accidents\/faqs\/how-soon-do-i-have-to-file-a-pedestrian-accident-claim-after-my-accident\/\">How soon do I have to file a pedestrian accident claim after my accident?<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"page_item page-item-8480\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.myphillylawyer.com\/yue\/practice-areas\/vehicle-accidents\/pedestrian-accidents\/faqs\/i-was-in-a-pedestrian-accident-what-should-i-do\/\">I was in a pedestrian accident, what should I do?<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"page_item page-item-9037\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.myphillylawyer.com\/yue\/practice-areas\/vehicle-accidents\/pedestrian-accidents\/faqs\/what-damages-can-i-get-after-my-pedestrian-accident\/\">What damages can I get after my pedestrian accident?<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How soon do I have to file a pedestrian accident claim after my accident?
