What Is the Statute of Limitations for Personal Injury Cases in TX?

In Texas, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases is generally two years from the date of the injury or accident. This means that you typically have two years from the date of the incident to file a personal injury lawsuit in the Texas civil court system.

It's crucial to be aware of this two-year time limit because if you fail to file your lawsuit within the specified period, you may lose your right to seek compensation for your injuries and damages through the court system. There are some exceptions to this general rule, such as cases involving minors or cases where the injury was not immediately apparent.

It's important to note that personal injury cases can vary widely, and the specific circumstances of your case may impact the statute of limitations. To ensure that you understand the deadlines that apply to your particular situation and to protect your legal rights, it's advisable to consult with a personal injury attorney as soon as possible after an accident or injury. An attorney can help you assess your case, gather evidence, and file a lawsuit within the applicable statute of limitations.

Our Personal Injury Services

We handle all types of injury claims related to accidents, such as:

Car Accidents. These include rideshare and drunk driving accidents and any negligence-based auto accident in which another’s wrongdoing has led to your injuries.
Bus Accidents. These can be complicated due to dealing with bus companies that may be regulated by law, such as public transit city buses, tourist buses, school buses, or others.
Motorcycle Accidents. Motorcyclists are particularly physically exposed and thus more likely to be seriously injured in any traffic accident. Ensuring you are compensated for the full extent of your injuries is vital.
Truck Accidents. Accidents involving commercial trucks bring additional complications due to state and federal trucking regulations and various parties that may have contributed to your injuries.

Personal injury claims are generally based on negligence. You must show that the at-fault party engaged in wrongful conduct, whether driving while intoxicated, violating other traffic laws, or mere inattention. That misconduct must have directly led to your accident and injuries.

Our firm will thoroughly investigate all aspects of your accident to gather and preserve the evidence, build your claim, and present it in negotiations at the settlement table or before a judge and jury in court.

Compensation in Texas Personal Injury Claims

Compensation in a personal injury claim typically falls into economic, non-economic, and exemplary (or punitive) damages.

Non-economic damages cover intangible losses such as pain and suffering, mental anguish, or disfigurement. Punitive damages are awarded in cases where the at-fault party’s conduct was especially egregious or malicious.
