Questions

How long do I have to file a bicycle accident claim in Texas?

In Texas, you generally have 2 years from the date of your accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. This is called the statute of limitations. Waiting too long can cost you your right to seek compensation entirely. Don't delay — contact us today.

How much does it cost to hire a bicycle accident attorney?

Nothing upfront. The attorneys in our network work on a contingency fee basis. That means you pay no attorney fees unless they win your case. Our matching service is also completely free to use.

How long does a bicycle accident case typically take?

It depends on the complexity of your case. Some claims settle in a few months. Others involving disputed liability or serious injuries can take a year or longer. Your attorney will give you a realistic timeline once they review the details of your situation.

What should I do immediately after a bicycle accident in Fort Worth?

First, call 911 and get medical help — even if you feel okay. Document the scene with photos if you're able. Get the driver's information and any witness contacts. Do not give a recorded statement to any insurance company before speaking with an attorney. Then contact HurtMatch to get connected with legal help fast.

What if I was partially at fault for the accident?

Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule. You may still be able to recover compensation as long as you were not more than 50% at fault. The amount may be reduced based on your percentage of fault. An attorney can review your specific situation and advise you on your options.

What Texas Law Means For Your Bicycle Accident Case

In Fort Worth, 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.

The 2-Year Deadline

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.

Modified Comparative Fault (51% Bar)

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.

Damage Caps You Should Know

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.

What To Do Right Now

  1. Get medical care immediately. Insurance companies argue any gap in treatment means you weren't really hurt.
  2. Do not give a recorded statement. Adjusters call within hours of a crash to lock you into damaging admissions. Decline politely.
  3. Save everything. Photos, medical records, bills, work-loss documentation, witness contacts.
  4. Get matched with an attorney before you sign anything. Settlement releases are final.
