As a lawyer, I can advise you that the statute of limitations for personal injury cases in Texas typically ranges from one to two years from the date of injury or discovery of the injury. This means that you must file a lawsuit within that time frame, or you may lose the opportunity to obtain compensation for your injuries.
However, there may be some exceptions and limitations to this rule, depending on various factors such as the type of injury, the identity of the defendant, and the age or mental capacity of the plaintiff. For example, if the injury was caused by medical malpractice, the statute of limitations may be extended to two years from the date of discovery, or up to 10 years if the injury was not discovered until later. If the defendant is a government entity, you may be required to provide notice of your claim within a specific time frame before filing a lawsuit.
If you have been injured and believe you may have a personal injury claim in Texas, it is important to speak with a licensed attorney as soon as possible to understand your options and ensure you do not miss any important deadlines. Seeking timely legal advice can help protect your rights and increase your chances of obtaining a favorable outcome in your case.
