Texas Filing Deadlines for Personal Injury Claims
Under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Section 16.003(a), most personal injury claims must be filed within two years of the date the injury occurs. Missing that deadline can permanently bar a claim, regardless of the severity of injuries or the strength of the evidence.
Exceptions may apply in specific circumstances. Claims involving minors, individuals with legal disabilities, or injuries that weren’t immediately discoverable can sometimes extend the filing window. Claims against government entities may also be subject to shorter notice requirements under the Texas Tort Claims Act. Because these variations are fact-specific, a practical next step is to speak with a personal injury attorney in Houston residents can reach without delay.
Acting promptly also serves your case on a practical level. Evidence is easier to preserve, witness accounts are more reliable, and your legal team has more time to build a thorough claim. Contact Matthews & Associates to understand how the filing timeline applies to your specific situation.
