Texas Bad Drug Lawsuits & Texas Defective Medical Device Cases
Defective medical devices and dangerous prescription medications contribute to many preventable illnesses, injuries and wrongful deaths occurring to Americans every year. The manufacturers of these medical devices and medications must be held accountable for bringing defective products to the medical marketplace. In recent years, there has been a significant rise in the number of Texas defective medical device cases, wrongful death claims, medical malpractice suits, and Texas bad drug lawsuits.
Victims who file these cases suffer emotional, financial and, most importantly, physical life-shattering changes or have died prematurely due to the resulting complications of using these products. The resource links below can assist victims in determining the merits of their case and whether the statute of limitations has already expired.
State of Texas Statute of Limitations
Texas Civil Statute of Limitations Laws – Code Provisions (§ 74.251(a))
Each state, including Texas, enact laws to restrict the length of time a victim can file a personal injury case involving negligence, intentional torts, medical malpractice, wrongful death or product liability. If the victim fails to follow the Texas statute of limitations, they usually lose their right to pursue a claim in the years ahead. However, for medical malpractice, there are special rules especially for minors under 14 years of age.
- Personal Injury / Negligence – 2 Years
- Product Liability – 2 Years
- Wrongful Death – 2 Years
- Medical Malpractice – 2 Years “with Discovery Rule to a maximum of 10 years. Minors: under 12 to age 14.”
- Intentional Torts – 1 Year
