The statute of limitations is the deadline you have to file a lawsuit. In Texas, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is two years from the date of the accident.
This means that if you do not file your lawsuit within two years of the date of the accident, you will likely be barred from doing so.
It is important to note that there are some exceptions to this rule, so it is critical that you speak with an attorney as soon as possible to ensure that your claim is filed in a timely manner.
