Swarthmore

On the courthouse map, Swarthmore is part of Delaware County. Delaware County’s Court of Common Pleas is where a Delaware County crash case of any real size is generally filed. The $12,000 civil cap in sections 1123 and 1515 is the usual line between the lower civil court and the Court of Common Pleas. Call the court that would hear the case before you travel, because rooms and hours change.

Section 7102’s 51 percent cutoff and section 5524’s two-year period apply in this town just as they apply across Pennsylvania. Our limited tort guide explains when pain and suffering can still be claimed.
