You may want to talk to a helicopter accident lawyer or a plane accident lawyer as soon as you know that your injuries were caused by the accident. Under Texas state law, you will have two years to file your case in court. While you don't have to have the suit resolved within two years, you may give up your chance of getting compensation or other relief if you let the statute of limitations expire. When you talk with a helicopter accident attorney, you will learn more about the specific statutes of limitation in your case and how they play a role in any legal strategy developed on your behalf.
