- Lost wages and benefits
- Reduced earning ability related to permanent injuries

Deadlines for Taking Legal Action Following a Lubbock Car Accident
There are strict deadlines on how long you can wait to take legal action following a Lubbock car accident. Under Texas law, car accident victims in Texas generally only have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit against the liable party and seek recovery in the courtroom.
If this deadline passes without any type of financial recovery or legal action, you could lose the right to hold the liable driver legally accountable later.
Filing a lawsuit is not always necessary for financial recovery in Texas personal injury cases. Our attorneys may be able to file an insurance claim and secure recovery for our clients. However, it is important that we ensure our clients retain the right to do so, in case it becomes necessary.
