Why quick action matters in Texas
Texas generally allows two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit, but much shorter deadlines can apply to claims involving a government entity — formal notice is generally required within six months, and some city charters shorten that to 30–90 days. Evidence also fades quickly. This is general information, not legal advice; a participating law firm can explain the deadlines that apply to you.

How long do I have to file a claim in Texas?
Texas generally allows two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit, but much shorter deadlines can apply to claims involving a government entity — formal notice is generally required within six months, and some city charters require it in as little as 30 to 90 days. This is general information, not legal advice. A participating law firm can explain the deadlines that apply to you.
The burn happened at work — is it workers' comp or a lawsuit?
It depends on your employer. If they carry workers' comp, benefits generally apply regardless of fault — and third parties can still be sued. If they're a non-subscriber, you may be able to sue the employer directly. A participating law firm can review which paths apply.

There's no set amount — it depends on your injuries, medical treatment, lost income, and how it happened.
