Don’t Delay — Time Is Ticking for You to Demand Compensation
If you’ve been seriously injured in a car accident, slip-and-fall, trucking accident, or most other instances of personal injury, you need to act fact. Under Texas law, you generally have a two-year deadline after the date of the accident to file a claim demanding compensation from whoever caused your injuries.
Missing this filing date means you cannot legally compel the responsible party — and their insurer — to compensate you for what you suffered, no matter how strong your underlying case may be. In addition, if your case involved a government entity, such as a regional bus service or the road commission responsible for maintaining roadway conditions, your filing deadline could be shorter than two years.
A crucial reason for filing your case within the time period is to show the insurance company you’re serious. If the insurer makes a lowball settlement offer or flat-out refuses to pay anything, a personal injury lawsuit could be the only way to recover fair compensation. However, missing your window to file suit means you have no leverage over the insurance carrier to encourage a better offer.
