Chester

For filing purposes, Chester sits in Delaware County. If the demand is above $12,000, the case is generally heard at Delaware County’s Court of Common Pleas. Pennsylvania uses that same dollar line in Philadelphia Municipal Court and in the magisterial district courts of the surrounding counties. Confirm the filing office and its hours directly with the court before you go.

Crossing a municipal boundary does not rewrite the insurance code, so you still have to read the tort option and the first-party medical benefit on the declarations page. If the other car was thinly insured, our uninsured motorist guide covers the optional UM and UIM forms.
