When Should I Hire a Houston, Personal Injury Attorney?

You should contact an attorney as soon as possible following an accident in which you were injured. Your attorney will help preserve any evidence demonstrating who caused your injuries, ensure that you receive proper medical attention, and address any other damages caused by the accident.

Texas law requires that an individual initiate a lawsuit within two years of the incident (this deadline is often referred to as the “Statute of Limitations.” Although there are some exceptions to this rule, it is generally preferable to inform the Defendants soon after the incident that you intend to hold them liable.

If you miss the Statute of Limitations deadline, then it is likely that you will not receive compensation for your injuries.
