What is the Statute of Limitations?
A Statute of Limitations is the time period in which a suit must be filed or else it is forever barred.
You may still have time to file your Hurricane Ike claim, even though the September 13, 2010 two-year anniversary of the storm has passed.
In Texas, many insurance companies try to shorten the statute of limitations by a clause in their insurance policy. It will be one of the stipulations in the insurance contract, so you should have a lawyer investigate now to determine when you must bring your claim or file your lawsuit.
- Is your Hurricane Ike claim still pending with your insurance company?
- Has there been no settlement yet of your claims?
- Is your insurance company giving you a difficult time?
