Texas Car Accidents
Every day, Texas sees its share of car accidents. Sadly, these incidents claim thousands of lives annually and leave tens of thousands more dealing with life-altering injuries. When innocent individuals suffer due to these crashes, they have the right to seek legal recourse against those at fault. To pursue justice after your accident, you’ll need to file a personal injury claim against the responsible party. It’s crucial to remember to follow Texas’s statute of limitations to ensure your claim remains valid.
What is the Statute of Limitations?
When you are considering filing a car accident lawsuit in Texas, understanding how the statute of limitations comes into play is crucial. This law sets a deadline for when you must file your legal claim against the other party involved in the crash. In Texas, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases, including those from car accidents, is typically two years from the date of the incident.
It is important to know that this two-year deadline generally applies to most car accident lawsuits in Texas. However, there might be exceptions that could either shorten or lengthen the time you have to take legal action. For instance, if the responsible party is a government entity or employee, a much shorter notice period may be necessary.
Delaying too long in filing your lawsuit could mean losing your right to seek compensation for your injuries and damages. That’s why it’s crucial to seek advice from an experienced car accident lawyer right after an accident occurs. They can help ensure you meet all necessary deadlines and protect your rights.
