In Texas, you must file any legal action for an auto accident within two years after the incident. This is the shortest amount of time, although some unique exceptions may allow an extension, you should never plan on that. Get the suit filed within two years, and you should be ok. This should allow you time to locate an attorney (if you want to) and get records together, and negotiate with the insurance company.

Remember, too, that your suit must be filed before the limitations period expires, AND you have to use due diligence to get the defendant served. Just filing and sitting back does not satisfy the burden.
