Sustaining an injury in a car wreck, motorcycle crash, or another incident caused by a careless individual can be incredibly difficult. You may face chronic pain, steep medical bills, lost income, and a handful of other challenges after such an accident.
Importance of Timely Legal Action
The importance of timely legal action cannot be overstated in personal injury cases. There are legal deadlines that dictate when a claim must be filed, and missing these deadlines can result in the loss of the right to seek compensation. Under Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 16.003, you have just two years from the day of your accident to file a civil suit.
By acting promptly, you can ensure that your case is filed within the applicable statute of limitations. In addition to legal deadlines, evidence preservation is another critical reason for taking timely legal action. Evidence such as medical records, witness statements, and accident scene documentation can be vital in proving liability and establishing the extent of damages.
Failing to gather and preserve this evidence promptly can weaken a case and make it more challenging to achieve a favorable outcome. Luckily, our Orange personal injury attorneys can get started on your case ASAP and ensure all necessary actions are completed in a timely manner.
