If you suffered a work injury, you must file your claims within the appropriate deadlines, which depend on the nature of your claim – whether it is a workers’ comp claim or a personal injury lawsuit. In Texas, the statute of limitations for work-related injuries is two years from the date of employee's incident for nonsubscriber employers. For companies that subscribe to the Texas workers’ compensation system, the time limit to file a comp claim is one year from the date of injury.
