Drivers hit cyclists every day in Houston — if it happened to you, you deserve a fighter in your corner right now.
A bicycle accident can flip your life upside down in seconds. Medical bills pile up. You can't work. Your bike is destroyed. And the driver's insurance company is already working against you — even before you've had a chance to heal.
You shouldn't have to figure out the legal system while you're hurt and overwhelmed. The right attorney can deal with the insurance company, protect your rights, and let you focus on getting better. But time matters. Evidence disappears. Witnesses forget. Don't wait.
Texas law gives you two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. That sounds like a long time, but evidence fades fast. The sooner you act, the stronger your case can be. Don't wait until the deadline is close.
Nothing upfront. Every attorney in the HurtMatch network works on a contingency fee basis. That means you pay no attorney fees unless they win your case. There's no financial risk to getting started.
Every case is different. Some resolve in a few months through a settlement. Others involving serious injuries or disputed liability can take a year or more — especially if the case goes to court. Your matched attorney will give you a realistic timeline based on your specific situation.
First, get to safety and call 911. Get a police report — it matters. Take photos of the scene, your bike, your injuries, and the vehicle that hit you. Get driver and witness information. Seek medical attention right away, even if you feel okay. Then contact HurtMatch so we can connect you with an attorney before evidence disappears.
Don't give a recorded statement and don't accept any settlement offer before speaking with an attorney. Insurance adjusters work for the insurance company — not for you. A quick settlement offer may be far less than what you're actually owed. Talk to an attorney first.
In Houston, 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.
