Statute of Limitations

Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 16.003 generally grants two years to file a personal injury lawsuit involving personal injury or wrongful death. If you don’t file your lawsuit on time, you risk losing the right to compel compensation from the negligent party. 

A lawyer can help you avoid this costly consequence by accurately interpreting the filing deadline and sharing those details with you. Understanding your case’s deadline can be difficult on your own––especially if you get overwhelmed by dense legalese. A good way to meet the statute of limitations is to connect with a lawyer at your earliest convenience.
