Free · No fee unless you win
HurtMatch connects injured Texas cyclists with experienced personal injury attorneys — fast, free, and with no upfront cost.
One moment you're riding. The next, everything changes. A distracted driver, a speeding truck, a door swung open without warning — and suddenly you're on the ground, in pain, wondering what happens next. Medical bills pile up fast. You may not be able to work. And the driver's insurance company is already working against you.
You deserve someone fighting in your corner. Insurance adjusters are trained to minimize payouts. Without an attorney, most injured cyclists settle for far less than they need to recover fully. You have rights in Texas — and a limited window to protect them. Don't wait.
no fee unless you win
In Texas, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases is 2 years from the date of your accident. Miss that deadline and you could lose your right to pursue compensation entirely. Don't wait — the sooner you act, the stronger your case.
Nothing upfront. Attorneys in our network work on a contingency fee basis, which means they only get paid if you win your case. HurtMatch's matching service is also completely free to you.
Call 911 and get a police report. Seek medical attention right away — even if you feel okay. Take photos of the scene, your injuries, and any damage. Get contact information from witnesses. Do not give recorded statements to insurance companies before speaking with an attorney.
It varies. Some cases settle in a few months. Others involving serious injuries or disputed liability can take a year or more. Your attorney will give you a realistic timeline based on the specifics of your situation.
You may still have options. Your own uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage (UM/UIM) may apply. An attorney can review your insurance policy and explore every avenue available to you under Texas law.
Texas injury law has unique rules that differ sharply from other states. Knowing them is the difference between a fair outcome and pennies on the dollar.
Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code §16.003 gives you exactly 2 years from the date of injury to file suit. Miss it and your case is over — there is no extension, no exception for "I didn't know I could sue." Wrongful death claims have the same 2-year window from the date of death.
Texas uses Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code §33.001. You can recover damages as long as you are 50% or less at fault. If you are 51%+ at fault, you recover nothing. Insurance companies know this rule and aggressively try to push fault percentages above 50%. An experienced attorney pushes back.
Texas caps non-economic damages in medical malpractice cases at $250,000 per defendant (Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code §74.301). There are no caps in standard auto, premises, or product cases — making attorney negotiation skill the deciding factor in your final number.
