Patients with serious injuries in San Antonio are typically routed to University Hospital (Level I Trauma Center), San Antonio Military Medical Center (Brooke Army Medical Center, Level I Trauma Center), and Methodist Hospital Metropolitan, depending on the nature of the trauma and the time of day. Chemical burns damaging deep tissue layers, Thermal burns from open flames and hot surfaces, and Arc flash burns covering large body surface areas are among the diagnoses these facilities see most often in cases like this one. The hospital you start at also shapes the paper trail, so when there is a choice, it is worth knowing which centers carry the specialty teams that match the injury.

The general rule is two years from the date of the injury, under Section 16.003 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code. The clock can run on a different schedule when the claimant is a minor, when the injury was not reasonably discoverable until later, or when a government entity is involved, where notice deadlines can fall as early as six months. The cleanest way to know exactly where the clock stands in your case is a short call with a lawyer who can look at the dates.
