What is the statute of limitations in state of Texas, I was in a car accident 8 months ago is it too late to hire a lawyer
No, the most likely deadline is two years, but there are MANY exceptions that can make that deadline much shorter. For example, I recently closed a case for $1 million dollars for a Texas accident, but we had to file it in Kentucky, where the safest deadline was only 1 year.
Also, the better the attorney, the less likely they are to accept your case the closer you get to the deadline.
And, the more time passes, the harder it is to secure evidence that can make a huge difference.
