Time limits, or “statutes of limitations,” matter when you have been injured in an accident. Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 16.003 sets a strict two-year deadline for filing personal injury and property damage lawsuits. Missing these deadlines can eliminate your ability to recover compensation. This means you could get no money at all, no matter how serious your injuries are or how obvious it is that the other person was responsible. Understanding these time limits helps you protect your legal rights and make informed decisions about your case.
The Texas Department of Transportation estimates that more than 18,000 people were seriously hurt in car accidents last year alone. If you have been in a car accident, truck accident, motorcycle accident, slip-and-fall accident, or any other type of injury, talk to a top Frisco, TX personal injury attorney right away. We will make sure you file your claim on time and make a strong case for maximum recovery.
