For a negligence claim you have two years from the date of inury. For a fraud claim, you have four years. I mention fraud because it may apply to your husband's case.

I had a case where my client was seriously injured on a job site. He was told that the company's worker's compensation benefits did not apply to him because of his employmet status. He questioned the employer repeatedly, and pleaded for coverage, and was refused. After losing everything he hired me and I went ahead and filed a lawsuit. I included negligence and fraud, I voided the applicability of worker's comp., and we were successful.

What are your husband's injuries? How was he injured? Is Work Comp. involved? Call me at 214 559 6173 or send me an email to [email protected], and I will be happy to consult with you further.
