A few exceptions exist to the Texas statute of limitations in car accident cases.
These exceptions delay when the statute of limitations begins to run:
If the injured individual is under 18 or, by Texas law, is not of sound mind, the clock for the statute of limitations does not start running until they reach 18 or are of sound mind.
If the potential at-fault party in the case leaves the state of Texas after the accident but before you file a lawsuit, the clock pauses until their return.
You must be sure how the statute of limitations applies to your case. Speaking with a San Antonio car accident can help you understand your specific deadline for filing your claim. Your attorney can also help ensure you don’t miss the filing deadline and enhance your chances of fair compensation for your injuries.
