How long do I have to file a personal injury claim?

In Texas, the deadline to file a personal injury is generally two years from the date of your accident. The legal term for this deadline is the “statute of limitations.” If you fail to file a lawsuit for your injuries by the two-year deadline, you may lose your right to recover compensation from the defendant. Sometimes, there are limited exceptions that allow for the statute of limitations to be extended, but we advise contacting a Houston personal injury attorney immediately if the two-year deadline is fast approaching.
