Bethlehem

Bethlehem crosses a county line. Official address geocoding of offices filed under this name places some in Lehigh County and some in Northampton County, so a crash here should be filed in the county where it actually happened. Each county has its own Court of Common Pleas, and claims at or under $12,000 may start in a magisterial district court under section 1515 of Title 42.

A policy issued in this town still carries the same tort-option choice and the same $5,000 medical-benefit requirement that you would see on a Philadelphia policy. Our limited tort guide explains when pain and suffering can still be claimed.
