Texas Personal Injury Statute of Limitations is Similar to the Georgia Statute of Limitations
As a Georgia injury lawyer with a statewide practice, I often handle cases involving issues for out of State clients. One of the Texas personal injury attorneys that we work with, the Grossman Law Offices, PC, and I got to talking the other day about the Statute of Limitations and how they differ for each state.
As it turns out, the Texas Statute of Limitations for injury cases is generally two years, much the same as Georgia. TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM.CODE ANN. ยง 16.003 Texas has the same rules that allow minors to reach the age of majority before the clock begins to run. It does not appear that Texas has the tolling provision that we currently have in Georgia where a Plaintiff in a case stemming from a crash with a traffic citation or a crime has the two years plus the days it takes for the ticket or criminal case to be resolved.
Over the last two months, our firm has filed two wrongful death lawsuits and tractor trailer companies in Georgia and is preparing to file another in California with co-counsel. The idea of going into litigation and facing a jury is daunting for many prospective clients but you must understand that when significant dollar amounts are at stake, no insurance company is going to make a settlement offer that is even close to full value unless they are forced to. 
As we discussed previously "runners" are scumbags hired by some lawyers and chiropractors to drive business to their practices. They sometimes claim to be a referral service and sometimes they are calling on behalf of a specific chiropractic clinic. What they all share in common is a sleaze factor a mile wide. These people cannot get business in a legitimate fashion so they resort to taking advantage of confused consumers.
