Have you suffered from a personal injury accident in Texas? If yes, it is very important that you file your lawsuit before the applicable deadline, known as the "statute of limitations," elapses or your claim will be disqualified. If you have suffered a personal injury and you believe someone else is accountable for causing that injury, contact an attorney right away to learn your legal rights.
The type of injury, and the circumstances, will determine the specific time limitation. Generally, one year of the date that the injury occurred, a personal injury lawsuit must be filed. In certain situations, action must be taken in less than a year. For instance, you must file a claim within six months if you believe a governmental entity is responsible for causing your injury. Likewise, if you need to sue a doctor for medical malpractice, there are other and shortened time limitations.
If you delay reporting your claim, until near the end of the filing time limit, your Personal Injury attorney may not have enough time left before the deadline to help. If you have suffered from a personal injury, it is important that you immediately consult with a Personal Injury attorney.
