What Is the Legal Process for Child Injury Cases?

When a child is injured, the parents may be able to file a personal injury claim on their behalf. In Texas, a parent can file a claim for a child’s injury-related damages, including medical expenses, pain and suffering, and more. However, the statute of limitations for child injury cases is different than for adult injury cases.

In Texas, the statute of limitations for child injury cases is as follows:

• Birth to 18 months: The child has until their 20th birthday to file a personal injury claim.
• 18 months to 5 years: The child has until their 8th birthday to file a personal injury claim.
• 5 years to 18 years: The child has until their 19th birthday to file a personal injury claim.

It is important to note that the statute of limitations for child injury cases is different than for child wrongful death cases. If your child was killed as a result of someone else’s negligence, you have two years from the date of their death to file a wrongful death claim. If your child was injured, you have the time periods listed above to file a personal injury claim on their behalf.

When you turn to Mendez Law Firm, our Brownsville child injury attorney can help you understand the legal process and what to expect. We can guide you through each stage of the process and help you make informed decisions about your child’s case.
