Q: Can I still file a claim for my TMJ injury if it was diagnosed months after the initial incident?

Yes, you can still file a claim for a TMJ injury diagnosed months after the incident, as long as you file within Texas’s statute of limitations for personal injury claims, which in a case based on negligence is generally two years from the date of the accident. (There are exceptions to this rule, so always reach out to a lawyer as soon as possible to make sure you don’t miss the deadline.)
