What is the time limit to file a claim if I have been injured in a car wreck?

A: The statute of limitations for someone injured in a car accident Texas, which makes up the time limit to file a claim, is two years (24 months) from the time of the crash.

That means that if you or a family member has been injured by a negligent driver and you want to file a personal injury claim to recover damages for your costs, you must do so within two years of the time of the accident. If you file even a day later, you will not be eligible to pursue any damages at all.

This doesn't mean you should just wait until the last minute, either. Filing your claim as early as possible ensures that evidence and testimony is still fresh and gives you the best possible chance at winning.
