In the state of Texas, there is a time limit on how long accident victims has to file suit for damages in a personal injury case. In the Lone Star State, the time limit, better known as the statute of limitations, is two years from the date of the accident. This means that many victims have a maximum of two years to file suit against the defending party. If a victim of a traumatic brain injury waits too long to file suit for their personal injury, the injured party risks missing the window for pursuing damages for their case.
It is best to file a case as soon as possible after the injury has occurred. By filing shortly after the injury in question, the event is fresh in the victim’s mind. These events can frequently leave victims with a post traumatic stress reaction and can lead to details being forgotten or lost over the course of time.
