Compensation for Your Injuries

Statute of Limitations
The statute of limitations is your time limit for filing your lawsuit. Different types of lawsuits have different time limits, and the circumstances involved in your case can affect when the time limit starts tolling. In many cases the clock starts ticking on the date of accident that caused your injury. In some cases, such as failure to diagnose a serious illness, the time limit begins on the date that the mistake was discovered or should have been discovered. We can help you determine what the statute of limitations truly is in your case.
If you or a loved one has been inured due to someone else’s negligence or wrongdoing, please call our Austin personal injury attorneys or submit an online questionnaire. The initial consultation with our personal injury lawyers is free of charge, and if we agree to handle your case, in most cases we will work on a contingency fee basis, which means we get paid for our services only if there is a monetary recovery of funds. In many cases, a personal injury lawsuit must be filed before an applicable expiration date, known as a statute of limitations. Please call right away to ensure that you do not waive your right to possible compensation.
