Commercial Building Accident FAQs
How Long Do I Have To File A Claim After A Commercial Building Accident?
In Texas, the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim is generally two years from the date of the accident. However, it’s essential to consult with a lawyer like Mike as soon as possible to ensure you meet all legal deadlines and preserve crucial evidence.
Can I Still Pursue Compensation If I Was Partially At Fault For The Accident?
Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule, meaning you can still recover damages even if you were partially at fault for the accident. However, your compensation may be reduced based on your percentage of fault. It’s essential to discuss the specifics of your case with a knowledgeable attorney like Mike to understand your legal options fully.
Will My Case Go To Trial?
While many personal injury cases are resolved through negotiations and settlements, some cases may proceed to trial if a fair settlement cannot be reached.
