Frequently Asked Questions About Civil Litigation

Below are responses to common questions we receive regarding civil litigation.

What types of disputes can be resolved through civil litigation in Pennsylvania?

Civil litigation is used to address disputes not related to criminal charges. This includes legal conflicts connected to practice areas such as business law, real estate law, employment law, family law and personal injury.

How long do I have to file a civil lawsuit in Pennsylvania?

Pennsylvania law puts a specific deadline, called the statute of limitations, on filing civil lawsuits. The duration of these deadlines varies based on the type of claim. For example, it is four years from the time of breach for most contract disputes. Missing the statute of limitations that applies to your case will generally bar you from seeking remedies through the court system. A skilled civil litigation lawyer can provide you with clear guidance on the deadlines for your case.

What is the typical timeline of a civil lawsuit in Pennsylvania?

The length of a civil litigation case depends on the complexity of the dispute, as well as other factors. Some lawsuits resolve in weeks or months through early settlements or mediation. Intricate conflicts that require a trial may take a year or longer. An experienced attorney can review the details of your situation to give you an honest assessment of your case’s potential timeline.
