How Long Do You Have to File a Personal Injury Lawsuit in Texas?

Understanding the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is crucial to protecting your rights. In Texas:

General Time Limit

The statute of limitations for most personal injury cases is two years from the date of the injury.

Exceptions to the Rule

Discovery Rule: If the injury wasn’t immediately apparent, the clock may start when the injury is discovered.
Claims Involving Minors: The statute may be extended until the victim turns 18.
Government Claims: Shorter deadlines apply when suing a government entity.

Why Acting Quickly Matters

Evidence can disappear, and witnesses may forget key details over time. Filing promptly strengthens your case and ensures compliance with legal deadlines.

Top-notch service from Mr. Joshua Daws! He was able to address and resolve my concerns that another firm was unable to do so (Salazar Law Firm). I was referred to Mr. Daws’s firm and I am grateful I crossed paths with him. Highly recommend working with Mr. Daws, you will not regret it! He was able to notify me of the offer that the at-fault party had sent, in which I was previously told there had been nothing. Mr. Daws is the real deal and will take any case big or small seriously. A very personable person and is always present to help and serve you! 👍
