Doe v. East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania · filed 2026-05-13

To answer that question, we must begin with Pennsylvania’s general or residual statute for personal injury actions: 42 Pa. Cons. Stat. § 5524. Section 5524 allows “two years” to sue for personal- injury torts. That statute of limitations governs “Title IX claims arising from actions oc- curring in Pennsylvania and involving Pennsylvania citizens.” Doe v. Mercy Cath. Med. Ctr., 850 F.3d 545, 564 (3d Cir. 2017) (citing Bougher v. Univ. of Pittsburgh, 882 F.2d 74, 78 (3d Cir. 1989)). It also governs Doe’s substantive-due-process claim raised through § 1983 because, for § 1983 claims, we “borrow [Pennsylvania’s] general or residual statute for personal injury actions.” Owens v. Okure, 488 U.S. 235, 249–50 (1989).

Section 5524(3) gives a person two years to bring an action for injury to personal property.

In the instant case, the statute of limitations has not run; the cause of action in tort for recovery of damages to property occurred October 21, 1977; the real party in interest could still bring an independent action. See 42 Pa.C.S.A. §5524(3).

Section 5524(2)’s two-year personal injury limitation governs a non-purchaser’s implied-warranty claim for injury caused by a defective product.

Hahn v. Atlantic Richfield Co. · filed 1980-07-03(2)

In light of the possible discrepancies that the application of § 2-725 could cause in this context, and based on the Kassab rationale of the desirability of consistency of results in products liability cases, we conclude that the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania would apply the personal injury statute of limitations to govern Hahn’s claim of breach of implied warranty in the alleged *1106sale of the defective hoist to his employer.

Section 5524’s general two-year period runs from when the injury was done, but the No-fault Act’s loss-based limitation controls claims for no-fault benefits.

Jackson v. Pennsylvania Assigned Claims Plan · filed 1981-04-25

Here in keeping with the spirit and intent of 46 P.S. §563, the special provisions of the No-fault Act which uses the phrase “suffer the loss” would be controlling over the General Provisions of section 5524 of Limitation of Actions Statute which uses the phrase “injury was done” to begin the running of the two year period in which to bring suit.

Section 5524(3)’s two-year limit applies to a negligence claim for extra expenses caused by heat pumps failing to operate as expected.

Cohen v. General Electric Co. · filed 1982-12-30(3)

Section 5524(2) requires personal injury claims based on another’s wrongful act or negligence to be commenced within two years, including claims against third-party defendants.

Dysart v. Marriott Corp. · filed 1984-06-15(2)

I disagree because plaintiff commenced the instant action against the third-party defendants within two years of the sustained injuries. 42 Pa.C.S.A. § 5524(2) provides in pertinent part that “an action to recover damages for injuries to the person ... caused by the wrongful act or neglect or negligence of another” must be commenced within two years.

Section 5524(2)’s two-year personal injury limitation is a procedural defense personal to the tortfeasor; an uninsured motorist insurer cannot invoke it against its insured’s contract claim.

Boyle v. State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance · filed 1983-01-14(2)

A statute of limitations such as that in 42 Pa.C.S.A. § 5524(2) is a procedural defense arid therefore personal to the tortfeasor.

Section 5524(2)’s two-year limit applies to a third party’s personal injury claim for breach of warranty.

Williams v. West Penn Power Co. · filed 1983-08-09(2)

Mr. Williams’ suit for breach of warranty is barred by the two-year personal injury statute because of our holding in Salvador II, affirmed per curiam by our Supreme Court.

Section 5524(2)'s two-year limit governs product liability tort claims; breach of warranty claims under the Code use the Code's limitations period even when they seek damages for personal injury.

Williams v. West Penn Power Co. · filed 1983-11-10(2)

We rule today that section 2-725 of the Code applies to all breach of warranty actions brought under the Code and that no exception will be made merely because the claim seeks to recover for personal injury. Thus all claimants receiving injury in the manner of Mr. Williams and Mr. Banks have the option of proceeding in tort, governed by the tort statute of limitations, or under the Code, governed by the Code statute of limitations.

Section 5524 requires a personal injury claim to be filed within two years of the initial accident, even if subsequent malpractice causes additional injuries for which the original tortfeasor may be liable.

Rittle v. Wilkes-Barre City · filed 1985-02-07

The mere fact that a subsequent act or acts of negligence may have caused additional injuries for *342which the city may be liable does not alter the legal requirement that suit against the city be initiated within the two-year period required for such actions. 42 Pa.C.S. §5524. Accordingly, suit against the city was required to have been filed on or before December 22, 1983. Since suit was not commenced until December 23, 1983, the date the praecipe for writ of summons was filed, the action is one day late and thus barred by the statute of limitations.

Section 5524(2)’s two-year limit applies to personal-injury claims against a physician even when pleaded as breach of warranty.

Murray v. University of Pennsylvania Hospital · filed 1985-02-21(2)

Although we agree that a claim for personal injuries against a physician, whether premised upon medical malpractice or breach of warranty, is subject to the two year statute of limitations, we disagree with the trial court’s application of the rule in this case.

Francovich v. Byrne · filed 1986-07-01(2)

Erie Telecommunications, Inc. v. City of Erie · filed 1987-04-15(2)

Section 5524(2) requires a personal injury action to be filed within two years after the claim accrues, ordinarily on the accident date.

The two-year limitation period for a continuing injury begins when the wrongful conduct ends.

Louey v. Germany Township · filed 1986-10-03

Therefore, a cause of action for a continuing injury accrues only when the wrong terminates. Stuebig v. Hammel, 446 F. Supp. 31, 35 (M.D., Pa. 1977). Here, the cause of action is time barred if it accrued before February 10, 1984, two years prior to the filing of the complaint.

Section 5524(2) gives a plaintiff two years to bring a personal injury claim; an earlier injury starts the period for a later injury from the same conduct only if the defendant’s conduct caused the earlier injury.

Gunsalus v. Celotex Corp. · filed 1987-11-23(2)

Pennsylvania’s two-year statute of limitations for personal injury actions applies to all of plaintiff’s claims against the tobacco defendants except the breach of warranty claims. ...

Section 5524(2) imposes a two-year limitations period on claims for negligent infliction of emotional distress.

Bowser v. Guttendorf · filed 1988-05-02(2)

Section 5524(2) applies a two-year limitations period to personal injury claims based on tortious nonfeasance, including claims against government officials.

Ward v. City of Philadelphia · filed 1989-02-01(2)

The fact that the alleged duty of care in this case arose by virtue of the individual defendants’ status as government officials does not alter the fact that a suit of this general character is governed by the limitations period of § 5524(2).

Section 5524(2) applies a two-year limitation period to negligent breach of contract claims to the extent they seek damages for personal injuries.

Jablonski v. Pan American World Airways, Inc · filed 1988-12-14(2)

Because the general rule in Pennsylvania is that claims for damages for personal injures must be brought within the two year limitation period and the only existing exception to that rule is inapplicable in these cases, we predict the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania would apply the two year limitation period to Jablonski’s negligent breach of contract claims, to the extent he seeks damages for personal injuries.

Section 5524’s two-year limit bars direct recovery for negligence-related personal injuries when the claim expires before an additional defendant is joined.

Richards v. ALSTON · filed 1989-01-25

However, in the present matter, the two year statute of limitations established by Section 5524 of the Judicial Code, 42 Pa. C. S. §5524, for actions to recover damages for personal injuries sustained as the result of negligence had run against any cause of action the appellant may have had against DOT at the time the City and the Commission filed their joint complaint against DOT. As a result, appellant could not have recovered damages directly from DOT.

Spencer v. Absco Inc. · filed 1990-07-12(2)

The statute of limitations for an action to recover damages for personal injuries is two years. 42 Pa.C.S. §5524(2).

The statute of limitations has run and any attempt to amend the complaint to substitute PennDOT for the Commonwealth is untimely.

Section 5524(7) gives plaintiffs two years to bring actions for injury to personal property based on negligent, intentional, or otherwise tortious conduct.

In Re Asbestos School Litigation · filed 1991-05-02(7)

It is not disputed that the applicable statute of limitations provision for actions alleging injury to personal property is contained in 42 Pa.C.S.A. § 5524.

Torres v. Pennsylvania Financial Responsibility Assigned Claims Plan · filed 1994-07-15

The statute of limitations in this case is two years. 42 Pa.C.S. § 5524. With Torres’s injury arising on April 15, 1989, his instituting suit against Boyd and Vasquez in September 1991 clearly exceeds the period within which to bring a timely action.

The specific statute of limitation referenced by the Bednar court, as the Debtor points out, was 42 Pa.C.S. § 5524(3), which relates to “[a]n action for taking, detaining or injuring personal property” (emphasis added).

Section 5524(2) requires a personal injury action to be filed within two years and bars recovery against a defendant who is not sued within that period.

Hagans v. Constitution State Service Co. · filed 1997-01-21(2)

Presently, Hagans’ failure to sue Shoona Fooks within two years after the date of the accident has barred her from personally recovering against said party, and, effectively, cut off any right Constitution or PACP may have in being subrogated for benefits paid to Hagans under 75 Pa.C.S.A. 1754.

Section 5524 imposes a two-year limit on actions to recover damages for personal injury.

Cella v. Togum Constructeur Ensemleier en Industrie Alimentaire · filed 1999-04-01

Because Pennsylvania has a two-year statute of limitations for actions to recover damages for personal injury, see 42 Pa.C.S. § 5524, the Cellas could not have initiated a new, identical state court action against Bosch on March 6, 1998, the date on which the Cellas filed their motion to consolidate and "remand" or dismiss.

Section 5524(2) gives a plaintiff two years to commence a personal injury action; counsel’s medical incapacitation does not create an additional exception to that deadline.

Mosley v. Settles · filed 2001-07-11(2)

However, the two year period applicable to commencing a personal injury action affords the potential plaintiff an extended period of time within which to file a complaint or, as in this case, merely notify a defendant that a complaint will be filed in the near future. As a result, we do. not believe that an additional exception to the statute of limitations is necessary. Nor do we believe it would be wise. Rather, we conclude that expansion of the statute of limitations beyond the exceptions already specified (fraud or its equivalent) could have a disastrous effect on the court’s current, onerous caseload.

Section 5524(2) gives a plaintiff two years to bring a personal injury claim arising from an automobile accident; timely filing a writ preserves that period when the plaintiff makes a good-faith effort to serve it.

Tremback v. Morcom · filed 2003-09-22(2)

Since the accident occurred on June 7, 2000, and an original writ of summons was filed on June 7,2002, the effectuation of proper service of original process is critical since it would preserve the two-year statute of limitations which govern personal injury automobile accidents such as the one before us. ... We find that this meets the “good faith” standards originally set forth in Lamp v. Heyman, 469 Pa. 465, 366 A.2d 882 (1976), as the plaintiff did act as diligently as possible and refrained from a course of conduct which served to stall in its tracks the legal machinery she had just set in motion.

Section 5524(2) gives a plaintiff two years to bring a personal injury claim.

Pare v. Wyeth, Inc. · filed 2005-03-04(2)
