Pennsylvania Social Media Youth Addiction Claims

Pennsylvania Filing Framework

  • General personal injury SOL: 2 years
  • Accrual model: discovery
  • State bar: Pennsylvania Bar

Pennsylvania has a 2-year statute of limitations for product liability claims. Pennsylvania's discovery rule tolls the period from when the plaintiff knew or should have known about the injury and its cause — important for families who may have attributed mental health symptoms to other causes rather than social media use.

Parents and guardians should gather medical, behavioral, school, and treatment records tied to social media use and injury timeline.
