Legal Question in Personal Injury in Pennsylvania
Our dog bit a 2-year-old girl who entered our property and approached him 2 years ago. The statue of limitations was up 7 days ago. Our insurance adjuster told us the injured child's parents filed a writ to give further time to settle. I have yet to be served. How long do you have to serve a writ for a dog bite injury?

The Statute of Limitations for a minor begins to run 2 years after their 18th birthday. The parents right to recover medical expenses is 2 years from the dog bite.
