Philadelphia, PA personal injury attorney Leon Aussprung M.D., ESQ. talks about the statute of limitations for filing a birth injury case. He explains that in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, the statute of limitations is generally two years from the discovery of negligence. However, when a claim involves a child—such as a birth injury or negligence affecting a minor—the statute does not begin to run until the child turns 18. This means the child has until age 20 to bring a claim for their injuries.
