¿Qué tan pronto después de una lesión necesito presentar una demanda?

Los reclamos por lesiones personales en Texas tienen un estatuto de limitaciones de dos años, lo que significa que tiene una cuenta regresiva de dos años desde el día resultó lesionado para presentar la demanda. Esta es la razón más básica para moverse rápidamente y contratar a un abogado de lesiones personales cuando ha resultado herido. Muchos casos han sido desestimados porque los demandantes simplemente no presentaron una demanda lo suficientemente rápido y se perdió su oportunidad de obtener justicia.

La única excepción al estatuto de limitaciones es la regla de “descubrimiento de daño”, aunque esto se aplica principalmente a casos de negligencia médica y muerte por negligencia. Esencialmente, si el demandante tenía una causa razonable para ignorar sus daños, la cuenta regresiva de dos años comienza cuando descubre el problema. Por ejemplo, si un cirujano causa un problema que no se manifiesta durante cinco años, entonces el estatuto no se aplica.


Sin embargo, existen otras razones para presentar una demanda poco después de una lesión:

  • Sus facturas médicas se están volviendo abrumadoras
  • La documentación será más fácil de encontrar y probar
  • Es menos probable que se pierdan los plazos legales y de seguros
  • La necesidad de su reclamo se argumentará con más fuerza.
  • La pérdida del potencial de ingresos está afectando su calidad de vida
  • Su memoria de los detalles será más nítida y más fácil de probar

En última instancia, un abogado de lesiones personales toma los hechos de tu historia, investiga testimonios y documentos para respaldarlos, y presenta los hallazgos a un juez o jurado. Los detalles fuertes se corroboran fácilmente cuando los recuerdos están frescos. Si bien puede creer que no olvidará nada importante, cuanto más espere, más débil se volverá su caso. Presentar su demanda dentro de los días o semanas posteriores al incidente crea un mejor caso que esperar un año o más.

Independientemente de las circunstancias de su caso de lesiones, necesitará un abogado de lesiones personales de su lado. Además de nuestro trabajo en su nombre en la sala del tribunal, también tenemos un amplio conocimiento sobre el proceso de descubrimiento. Nos aseguramos de que no se omita ningún detalle que pueda validar su caso y maximizar el monto de su recuperación. Encontrar esos detalles rápidamente es crucial, así que si tiene un reclamo:póngase en contacto con FVF, LLP hoy dia.
