Exceptions to the Two Year Statute of Limitations

There are, however, exceptions to the two-year statute of limitations:

When the Plaintiff is a Minor, Child.

A wrongful death claim on behalf of a minor child can not expire until the child is of legal age. The two-year statute of limitations, therefore, does not start to count down until the child’s 18th birthday. For example, if a 15-year-old child lost their father in a work-related accident, that child’s claim would be extended until two years after they are of legal age (their 20th birthday). Generally, a minor child has no legal standing to file any civil suit in Texas until they turn 18.

Even so, a minor child is not restricted to waiting until they turn 18 to pursue a wrongful death claim. A parent or guardian can pursue the claim on behalf of the minor child. This is usually a better idea than waiting because the evidence necessary to win a wrongful death case will usually vanish long before the child becomes of legal age.

When a parent or guardian pursues a wrongful death case on behalf of a minor child, the court will appoint an ad litem (a non-biased, third-party attorney) who will review the terms of the settlement or jury verdict to determine that the resolution was fair and in the best interest of the child. This keeps family members and other parties from helping themselves to the child’s claim. Once the case is resolved, the money is put into the court’s registry and is made available for the child when they come of legal age. The ad litem legal representative is also allowed to invest this child’s money, under certain clear circumstances and only with the supervision (and at the discretion) of the court.

When the Defendants or Their Negligence Were Unknown

Wrongful death cases in Texas are subject to the “discovery rule” which states that the two years do not begin to run until the time that a reasonably prudent person would have known that they had a cause of action. A perfect example if the differences in this discovery rule would be to compare a fatal construction accident injury and a fatal injury in a pharmaceutical case. Wrongful death from a construction accident usually doesn’t take very long to determine if someone’s negligence lead to the death of your loved one. So the discovery process usually begins relatively quickly.

But on the other hand, imagine that a person takes a pharmaceutical drug and dies due to complications from taking that drug. Then, ten years after this death it is determined that the drug was defective and that this defect was a direct cause of that loved one’s death. One of the decedent’s family members – typically the spouse – would more than likely be able to file a claim even though the standard two-year window had expired. The idea behind this is that the plaintiff did not know that they had a case until years later: which would, therefore, extend the statute of limitations.

Put our experience to work for you, today! If you want to know what your rights are, and how Texas Statute of Limitations laws affect you and your surviving family members after the accidental death of a loved one, even if the events or time-frame for filing your lawsuit are unclear, we can help you understand the best way to proceed with your claim, how much compensation you can reasonably expect to secure, and the right time to spring into action against the negligent defendants and their well-funded insurers and attorneys.

Are you searching for a Texas Truck Accident Attorney?  Were you injured in a truck accident? Was another driver responsible for the truck accident? Our experienced legal experts have a wealth of experience handling cases involving tractor trailer trucks or big rigs involved in truck accidents.

Drivers share our roadways with an estimated 3.5 million truck drivers. These massive vehicles can weigh up to 80,000 pounds and they are driven on freeways at speeds of up to 70 mph. When a motorist in the average sedan or compact car is struck by an 18 wheeler at high speeds the consequences and injures are often catastrophic.

In one year alone, there were 503 people killed in the United States by trucks upwards of 10,000 pounds, according to statistics compiled by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Additionally, there were 10,287 fatal accidents involving smaller trucks including pickups, utilities and vans, statistics show.

Our truck accident law firm has 30 years of experience working with injured victims of truck accidents. We are  committed to helping clients with truck accident cases which are typically far more complex than the typical auto accident lawsuits.

Attorneys Specialize in Truck Accidents

Those injured in a truck accident should only consult experienced Truck Accidents Attorneys to protect their interests and achieve the most desirable outcome. Motorists injured in a truck crash will need to negotiate with multiple responsible parties. Semi-trucks, bob-tail trucks, delivery trucks, flatbeds, tractor trailers and all other types of commercial vehicles are usually driven by an employee working for an employer. The employer’s insurance carrier will be involved and often these are specialty carriers who have at their disposal some of the best truck accident investigators, attorneys and adjusters. It’s not uncommon for some trucking companies to have their own team of experts and attorneys at the scene of an accident before most truck crash injury victims have time to gather their wits. Our team of truck accident specialists will conduct multiple investigations to determine liability in a truck accident. Commercial truck drivers for example are required to abide by specific regulations called Hours-of-Service that limit how long they can drive on our roadways. These regulations help ensure that truck drivers get sufficient rest so they can drive safely. Our clients have peace of mind knowing that we are experts in this field and have won millions of dollars for our injured clients. The investigation will include answering some of the following questions:

Was the truck owner for negligent?

Were there equipment defects?

Were the truck driver’s actions negligent?

Were there faulty repairs to the truck?

Are there other parties who may be liable for the accident?

Our expert truck accident law firm will get to work immediately on your truck accident case. Our legal team will interview witnesses, obtain police reports, conduct a site investigation, schedule medical exams, and perform many other tasks required to put together a case against a negligent driver.

The work required to prosecute a negligent driver can be time consuming and expensive, but only an experienced truck accident attorney will be able to determine if you have a valid case against another driver. Once we determine that you have a case against a negligent driver we will proceed to work diligently to win you compensation for your injuries, pain and suffering. Call for a free consultation to learn more.

Are you a victim of a truck accident?

The first step you should take after you are injured in a truck accident is to seek medical treatment. Next, preserve any evidence such as photographs of the accident, your injuries, the accident scene, etc. Get names of any witnesses, the responding police officer and the drivers involved in the crash. Never discuss who is at fault after an accident because you may not have all the facts. The insurance company has its own best interests in mind and it’s best not to let them be in charge if you are injured in a truck accident. Call a truck accident attorney who has the resources and expertise to handle the complexities of your particular case because delaying an investigation can be a costly decision. Call our office for a free truck crash consultation as soon as you are able.

Most large truck accidents result in serious physical injury to victims. If you or a family member are a victim of a truck accident call for a free confidential consultation with an experienced and caring truck crash attorney.
