Frequently asked questions

How many burn injury attorneys are listed in Mercedes, Texas?

No firms are listed in Mercedes, Texas yet. Attorneys in nearby cities and elsewhere in Texas handle burn injury cases across the state — burn and fire cases are routinely litigated statewide rather than city by city.

How long do I have to file a burn injury lawsuit in Texas?

The Texas statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is 2 years (Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 16.003).

Missing either one generally ends the claim regardless of its merits, so the filing date matters more than almost any other early decision.
