How long do I have to file a personal injury claim?

Answered by attorney Geoffrey Scott Binney
Personal Injury lawyer at Gauntt Koen Binney Kidd, LLP
You have a lot of issues going on here, but to answer your primary question, you generally have two years from the date of injury in Texas to file a negligence cause of action.  You may also have issues related to your worker's compensation claim and for those I would recommend you speak with a workers compensation lawyer.

It sounds like the responsible driver was a co-worker. If so, you are limited to the workers compensation benefits.

For starters, it is very difficult to sue an insurance company and win. Second, it's nearly impossibleunless you have them on tape or in print saying something which proves they knew something wasn't true to prove an adjust or "lied" about an investigation. Remember, there is a huge difference between an insurance company taking a contrary position which may be wrong according to what you think you know, and an adjustor insisting the facts are a certain way while KNOWING they are not. You call it a lie, they call it a difference of opinion, and if there is no hard evidence either way, a court of law is not going to rule in your favor.
