Claim Criteria
Statutes of Limitations are very unclear due to tolling provisions that allow time to discover the cause of an injury and the negligence involved. Each law firm is setting its own criteria and thus, ours is not going to be the same as others. Our Houston Tylenol lawsuit lawyers are currently evaluating cases nationwide where the affected child is under the age of 18 in order to allow time for evaluation within the common Statutes of Limitations. Other law firms may accept cases for older injury victims.
