Wrongful Death – Time Limitations
If you have lost a loved one due to the carelessness, recklessness,
or negligence of another you need to consult a Texas wrongful death
attorney as soon as possible. There is a time limit for filing your
claim so it is important to act quickly. The time limit or statute
of limitations in Texas for a wrongful death suit is two years from
the date the claim accrued. There are some exceptions to this rule,
however so seek the counsel of a Texas wrongful death lawyer if you
feel you may have the right to file a wrongful death suit.
In certain circumstances the statute of limitations may be extended.
In cases where the victims did not know or could not have known that
negligence occurred the courts may allow an extension. This could
happen in the instance of medical negligence where there may have
been a cover up and the victims did not find out until after the statute
of limitations was up. Special considerations may also be made for
minors and those who may otherwise be incompetent. These types of
situations must be well documented in order to be approved, so seek
the assistance of a San Antonio wrongful death attorney to see if
an extension may apply in your case.
