What Is the Statute of Limitations for Filing a Wrongful Death Claim in Texas?

The statute of limitations in a wrongful death lawsuit is 2 years.

That seems like a long time, but I’m telling you, if you don’t hire a lawyer and get started with the investigation right after the death occurs, you’re gonna be behind the eight ball because the insurance company on behalf of the wrongdoer is out there immediately trying to develop evidence that’s going to defeat the claim, and if you don’t hire a lawyer until after all that is done, your claim could be in deep trouble before you even get started.
