Deadlines for Personal Injury Claims
It is important to be aware of the legal deadlines that apply to civil lawsuits in Texas. The statute of limitations for personal injury lawsuits average about two years, as set by Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 16.003.
A two year statute of limitations also applies to medical malpractice lawsuits per Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 74.251. However, some circumstances, such as suing a government agency or filing a medical malpractice claim for a person under the age of 12, could alter these deadlines and require you to act within different timelines.
Failing to act before the deadline expires can mean that you lose the legal right to pursue compensation for the harms you suffered. Speak with a member of our team today to ensure that your claim is filed as soon as possible.
