How Long Do I Have To File A Texas Wrongful Death Lawsuit?

A: In general, the statute of limitations for filing a wrongful death lawsuit in Texas is two years from the time of your loved one’s death. However, you may have an extended period of time to file your lawsuit if new information about the negligence surrounding your loved one’s accident comes to light in the years after the incident. While it is always best to act as soon as possible when you believe you have a wrongful death case, don’t hesitate to contact a Houston wrongful death attorney regarding your case even if you believe too much time has passed.
