In Texas What Are My Lawsuit Filing Deadlines?

All states impose statutory time limits on the amount of time you have to file a lawsuit. These time limits are called a statute of limitations.

In Texas the statute of limitations for a personal injury case is typically two years from the date of injury. On a breach of contract case the filing deadline is typically 4 years.

Unless a rare exception applies, this is the maximum amount of time you have to file your suit with the state’s civil court system.

If you don’t file your lawsuit before this deadline the court system will likely refuse to hear your case.

If this happens your legal rights for compensation will be lost.

These deadlines are also qualified by several complexities and rare exceptions.

For example, in Texas the filing deadlines may be different where negligence causes death, where injuries occur over a period of time, where minors and children are involved, or where there are uninsured motorists.

Our counsel to you is, do not attempt to calculate your statutory deadline without the help of a trusted lawyer.

Additionally, there are many critical reasons for you to stay far away from your deadline.

Even if you don’t immediately file a lawsuit, you should have your case fully investigated as early as possible.
