That industrial volume makes serious truck collisions a real risk. If you were injured by a commercial truck in Chester, an attorney experienced in Pennsylvania trucking cases can help protect your claim.
Pennsylvania Law and Your Claim
Pennsylvania follows modified comparative negligence: you can recover as long as your share of fault does not exceed 50 percent, with your award reduced accordingly, and it lets drivers choose between full and limited tort coverage.
Federal rules govern the interstate carriers on I-95 and serving the port, and Pennsylvania generally allows two years to file. Preserving evidence early is critical.
Truck Accidents in Chester, PA — Common Questions
How does Pennsylvania's comparative negligence rule work?
Pennsylvania uses modified comparative negligence: you can recover as long as your share of fault does not exceed 50 percent, and your award is reduced by your percentage of responsibility.
Does my 'limited tort' auto coverage affect my truck accident claim?
It can. Pennsylvania lets drivers choose between full tort and limited tort coverage, and limited tort can restrict recovery for pain and suffering — though serious injuries and certain exceptions may still allow it. An attorney can review your policy and the facts of your crash.

Pennsylvania generally allows two years from the date of the crash, with shorter deadlines for claims against a government entity. Speak with an attorney promptly.
