If you were at the plant when the crane collapsed, and if you suffered a physical or psychiatric injury, then your time to file a claim is running out. That's because under Texas law, a person must file a personal injury case no later than TWO YEARS AFTER THE DATE OF THE ACCIDENT. In legal jargon, this is called the "statute of limitations."
The crane collapsed on July 18, 2008. The two year period will expire on July 18, 2010. That's a little over four months from now.
So if you or someone you know was injured at the crane collapse but a lawsuit has not yet been filed, talk to an experienced and Board Certified personal injury attorney right away. If you wait until after July 18, 2010, you will never be able to file your lawsuit.
