The statute of limitations for personal injury law has to do with how much time you have to bring a lawsuit against the at-fault party (generally through his or her insurance company). In the State of Texas, you generally have two years from the date of the injury-causing accident to file a lawsuit. While this may strike you as ample time, it’s important to factor in your vulnerable state and the complexities of your personal injury claim – which can gobble up a considerable amount of time.
