In Texas, where Pierce Skrabanek is located, the deadline for filing most personal injury claims is 2 years.
The deadline for filing a personal injury lawsuit can range between 1-6 years depending on your state, and the type of injury, and the circumstances involved. The clock starts ticking on the date of your injury, and you may have as little as 1 year to file a claim based on your area’s laws (known as “statutes of limitations”).
Your particular circumstances greatly influence the potential timeline of a personal injury lawsuit.
There may be timeline exceptions for children, for cases involving the federal government, or for certain medical malpractice injuries. For these reasons, it is important that you contact a local attorney as soon as possible so they can inform you of your specific timeline.

Personal injury law covers a wide range of matters involving preventable accidents caused by negligence. For example, in the United States, roughly 8 million people visit emergency rooms every year due to a fall, and roughly 2.8 million workers suffer injuries on the job. In Texas, 1 person every 2.56 minutes is injured in a traffic collision. If you or a loved one have been injured in an accident caused by someone’s careless acts, you may need a personal injury lawyer to protect your rights.
Personal injury cases can range from minor to catastrophic harm. Some of the most common injuries include broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, and neck or spinal cord injuries. Accidents can also lead to organ damage, burns, amputations, and other forms of disfigurement.
In these and other injury situations, the personal injury lawyers at Pierce Skrabanek will work tirelessly to recover the compensation you need to put the pieces of your life back together.
A personal injury lawyer needs to establish negligence in a personal injury case. First, they must show that the individual or entity being sued failed to act with reasonable safety or care, causing your injury. Then the attorney must describe the cost of your losses with items like receipts or bills for medical care, or expert witness testimony describing suffering like PTSD.
In some cases, there may be multiple parties liable for your injuries. Your attorney will investigate thoroughly to hold all parties accountable, and pursue the maximum available funds.
The best timeline estimate for a personal injury case is between a few months to a couple of years. How quickly a case settles depends on the willingness of the other side to negotiate, and the ability of your attorney to enter negotiations with a trial-ready case.
