It may sometimes be necessary to get a declaratory judgment to clear the air regarding policy-related issues. A party typically files a petition or complaint with the court to obtain a declaratory judgment, asking for a declaration or ruling on the specific legal issue in question.
Generally speaking, in Pennsylvania, there is a two-year statute of limitations that applies to any civil action in which an individual seeks to recover damages for personal injuries, or for the death of an individual, caused by the wrongful act or negligence of another person.
File a Complaint If not filed online, completed complaint forms may be emailed to IPRB@alleghenycounty, mailed to IPRB, 102 County Office Building Mezzanine, 542 Forbes Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15219, or delivered to the same address by hand.
As in most states, the statute of limitations in civil cases in Pennsylvania is two years. In most cases, this means that victims have two years from the date of their injury to file a civil lawsuit.
Personal injury lawsuits such as those stemming from car accidents, medical malpractice, or slip and fall incidents are a one type of civil suit. Other common civil lawsuits include breach of contract, product liability, divorce and family law, property disputes, and housing disputes.
An example of a declaratory judgment in an insurance situation may occur when a policyholder and an insurer disagree about whether a particular claim is covered under the insurance policy. For instance, suppose a homeowner files a claim with their insurance company for damages to their home caused by a storm.
A declaratory judgment is a binding judgment from a court defining the legal relationship between parties and their rights in a matter before the court. When there is uncertainty as to the legal obligations or rights between two parties, a declaratory judgment offers an immediate means to resolve this uncertainty.
