Texas statute of limitations<\/a> for property damage claims. A statute of limitations is a state law that impacts the right to file a lawsuit by placing a time limit on how long a victim has to file their claim in court.<\/p>\nIn Texas, a two-year statute of limitations applies to any lawsuit seeking the repair or replacement of damaged and destroyed property. This means action for property damage after a car accident must be brought within two years of the day the incident occurred. This two-year deadline applies any time an accident victim wishes to sue for monetary compensation after a car accident, no matter if the claim is for property damage alone or part of a claim that also includes personal injury and\/or wrongful death.<\/p>\n
In the event, that the filing deadline has passed but a victim decides to attempt to file a lawsuit anyway, the other party will likely file a motion to dismiss the case and be successful. When this happens, the victim has essentially lost their right to any legal remedy for the damaged property, making it imperative for car accident victims to ensure they have plenty of time available to sue for damages if needed.<\/p>\n
Recovering after the impact of a car accident can be all-consuming for victims especially in cases of contested car accidents. These feelings can develop even if those affected need to sue those involved for property damage. In these situations, it\u2019s important to consult with an experienced car accident attorney.<\/p>\n
