Texas’ Statute of Limitations in Car Accident Cases
If you decide to bring a personal injury lawsuit against a negligent driver, you should know that you do not have an unlimited span of time to do so. Under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code §16.003, you have two years from the date of the accident to file your personal injury lawsuit.
Filing any time after the two years have passed causes you to risk your legal right to pursue compensation. Keep in mind that negotiations with insurers take time, so the sooner you start the process of seeking compensation, the better you can protect your right to take legal action if needed.
A Plano unsafe lane change accident lawyer with our firm can help you abide by this statute of limitations, so reach out to us as soon as possible.
How We Hold Drivers Who Fail to Use Their Turn Signals Responsible for the Accidents They Cause
There may be a number of reasons why the motorist who hit you did not use their turn signal or exercise safety when turning or switching lanes. It is not uncommon for motorists to simply fall out of the habit of using their turn signal, but this oversight does not excuse them from their legal obligation to do so.
Other reasons a driver may fail to use their turn signal include:
- They are drunk or under the influence of other substances while driving.
- Their turn signal is broken, and they failed to fix it before driving.
- They believe they will have an advantage if they do not use their turn signal.
- They are speeding or driving aggressively.
- They briefly use their turn signal or use it without leaving 100 feet before they merge or turn.
- They are engaging in distracted driving and fail to notice that they are swerving into another lane.
The possibilities for failure to use a turn signal seem endless, but this simple omission is all it takes to cause an accident. If you or a loved one suffered injuries in a situation like this, a Plano unsafe lane change accident lawyer from our firm can handle your case.
