How Long Do You Have To File a Personal Injury Lawsuit in Longview?
After you get injured, your priority may be to heal your injuries. Some injuries might not show up immediately after the accident or will worsen throughout time. Although filing a personal injury claim might not be the first thing on your mind, it can be helpful to your case. Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 16.003 states you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit.
Speaking with an attorney from our firm soon after your case can be helpful for several reasons.
