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.
