Lansdale

On the courthouse map, Lansdale is part of Montgomery County. Civil crash claims over $12,000, exclusive of interest and costs, are generally filed in Montgomery County’s Court of Common Pleas. Magisterial district courts, and Philadelphia Municipal Court inside the city, handle many smaller civil claims at or under that figure under sections 1515 and 1123 of Title 42. Call the court that would hear the case before you travel, because rooms and hours change.

The limited-tort election, the modest required medical benefit and the two-year window to sue all travel with you, because they are statewide rules rather than town rules. The fault guide covers the 51 percent cutoff that can end a claim.
