Why File a Personal Injury Claim?
A catastrophic injury can change every corner of your life—sky-high medical bills, months (or years) away from work, and daily tasks that suddenly feel impossible. Whether you’re coping with a spinal-cord injury from a car crash, traumatic brain damage from a fall, or any harm caused by someone’s negligence or intentional wrongdoing, Texas personal-injury law gives you a path to hold the at-fault party accountable.
At Suday Law, PLLC, we focus on turning that legal right into real-world results. We investigate the accident, calculate the true cost of your past and future losses, and pursue full compensation for medical care, lost income, pain and suffering, and—in tragic wrongful-death cases—support for surviving family members. You concentrate on healing; we’ll handle the fight for justice. If you or a loved one has been seriously hurt, contact Suday Law today for a free case evaluation and discover how we can help restore your financial stability and peace of mind.
Statute Of Limitations for Injury Claims in Texas
Texas gives injury victims a two-year window to take action. Under Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code § 16.003, you typically must file your personal-injury or wrongful-death lawsuit within two years of the accident (or loved one’s passing). Miss that deadline and the court will bar your claim—no matter how clear the negligence.
Suday Law, PLLC moves quickly to preserve evidence, calculate your true losses, and file on time. While rare exceptions can pause the statute—for minors, undiscovered injuries, or defendants who flee the state—relying on those carve-outs is risky and complex. The safest path is to get experienced counsel involved immediately.
State Laws Exempt From the Two-Year Statute of Limitations
Most personal-injury claims in Texas must be filed within two years, but certain circumstances pause or extend that deadline. Below are three key exceptions our Houston trial team monitors to ensure you never miss your window for justice:
Texas Code Section
What It Covers
Practical Takeaway
Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 16.0031
Asbestos- or silica-related disease claims
Your time to sue starts either when the exposed person passes away or when you serve the first defendant with a medically compliant report (per § 90.003 or § 90.010 (f)). Diagnoses can appear decades after exposure—Suday Law makes sure the clock starts on the right date.
Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 16.001(b)
Victims who are minors or legally incapacitated
If you were under 18 or declared of unsound mind when the injury occurred, the “legal disability” tolls the two-year limit. The countdown doesn’t begin until you turn 18 or regain capacity—critical for childhood injury cases.
Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 16.0045
Personal injuries stemming from certain crimes (sexual assault, indecency with a child, human trafficking, etc.)
Survivors have up to 30 years—and the clock doesn’t start until their 18th birthday—to file a civil suit. This extended window reflects the unique trauma and delayed reporting common in these cases.
