Car Accidents in Texas
Every year, preventable motor vehicle accidents continue to be the cause of tens of thousands of collisions across our state. Far too often, car crash victims are forced to go through extensive medical treatment. Many victims have to spend significant time off work to recover. Unfortunately, negligence plays a role in far too many accidents that occur in our state.
We see many people hurt in accidents caused by speeding drivers, drivers who fail to yield, and drivers who run red lights at intersections. After being hurt in a car crash, it is crucial that you are able to take legal action against the responsible party. In order to prevail, you must be able to demonstrate negligence existed at the time of the crash.
What is the Statute of Limitations?
In Texas, it’s essential to take legal action following an accident, but the timing is crucial. The timeframe within which you must file a personal injury or wrongful death claim is known as the statute of limitations. In Texas, this statute is set at two years from the date of the accident.
While there are a few exceptions to this rule, seeking legal representation immediately after the accident is vital to ensure your claim is filed within the allotted time. Failing to file your lawsuit within the statute of limitations could result in being unable to recover any compensation for your losses and damages.
