However, DoorDash has a commercial motor vehicle... View More

If an incident happens in October of 2022 and a Counterclaim 8/22/22 and then filed a nonsuit of the counterclaim on 10/11/22, signed by the Judge on 12/15/22 and then Reinstated the Counterclaim 6/7/23 would it still fall within the Statute Of Limitations?
answered on Aug 16, 2023
Most likely yes. Most claims in Texas are subject to a two- or four-year statute of limitations. There are a few that have only a one-year statute of limitations, and a few that have a longer statute of limitations. It would seem most likely that any claim arising from an incident that happened... View More
