Accidents in Altoona
Altoona sits in Blair, and like the rest of Pennsylvania it follows the state's choice no-fault system, the modified comparative-negligence rule (42 Pa.C.S. § 7102), and the two-year deadline to file most injury claims (42 Pa.C.S. § 5524). Local roads, hospitals, and the Court of Common Pleas of Blair County all play a role in how a claim proceeds.
