There are important statute of limitations deadlines in which to bring a Texas Trasylol lawsuit and you may lose the right to bring a claim if your case is not filed before the statutory deadline.
A statute of limitations is a legal time limit in which a person must start a lawsuit. There are many factors affecting the deadline that must be taken into consideration including but not limited to:
• The type of injury
• The state where the injury occurred
• The state where the lawsuit is filed
• The age of the person bringing the lawsuit
• Whether the claim is a wrongful death claim
Texas Statute of Limitations
Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 16.001 et seq.
Personal Injury
2 Years
Products Liability
2 Years
Wrongful Death
2 Years
Discovery Rule
In certain situations it isn’t possible for a person who has suffered an injury to know the cause of their injury until some time has passed. For example, a bypass patient who developed kidney failure following heart surgery, but did not know that they were given Trasylol until years later or even that Trasylol may have caused their kidney failure.
The discovery rule does not apply in all states and every situation. Sometimes a statute of limitations will have expired and it may be too late to bring a claim. It is important to contact an attorney as soon as possible if you think you may have a potential Trasylol lawsuit claim.
