You were doing everything right — now let us match you with a Dallas attorney who will fight to hold the driver accountable.
A bicycle accident can flip your life upside down in seconds. Medical bills pile up fast. You may be out of work. Your bike is destroyed. Meanwhile, the driver's insurance company is already working to minimize what they owe you. They have lawyers. You deserve one too.
Dallas roads can be brutal for cyclists. Distracted drivers, dooring incidents, dangerous intersections — these accidents cause serious injuries. Broken bones, head trauma, road rash, nerve damage. You shouldn't have to fight the insurance company alone while you're trying to heal.
In Texas, you generally have 2 years from the date of your accident to file a personal injury claim. If you miss that deadline, you could lose your right to recover anything. Don't wait — contact an attorney as soon as possible.
Nothing upfront. Attorneys in our network work on a contingency fee basis. That means they only get paid if you win or settle your case. There's no fee to use HurtMatch to get your match either.
First, call 911 and get medical attention even if you feel okay. Document the scene — take photos of your injuries, the bike, the vehicle, and road conditions. Get the driver's information and any witness contacts. Avoid giving recorded statements to the insurance company before speaking with an attorney.
Every case is different. Some settle within a few months once medical treatment is complete. Others that go to litigation 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 auto or renters insurance may include uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage that could apply. An attorney can review all potential sources of recovery in your specific case.
In Dallas, Texas, injury cases follow the same statewide rules — but local courts and insurance adjusters have their own patterns. The attorney we match you with knows them.
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.
