Questions

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

In Texas, you generally have 2 years from the date of your accident to file a personal injury claim. Missing that deadline can mean losing your right to seek compensation entirely. Don't wait — contact us now.

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

Nothing upfront. The attorneys in our network work on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay no legal fees unless they win your case. Your HurtMatch consultation is also 100% free.

What should I do immediately after a motorcycle accident in Katy?

First, get to safety and call 911. Get medical attention even if you feel okay — some injuries don't show up right away. Document the scene with photos if you can. Get the other driver's information. Avoid giving recorded statements to insurance companies. Then contact HurtMatch to get connected with an attorney.

How long does a motorcycle accident case typically take in Texas?

Every case is different. Some settle in a few months. Others that go to trial can take a year or more. Your attorney will give you a realistic timeline based on the specifics of your situation, the severity of your injuries, and how cooperative the other party's insurance is.

What if the other driver's insurance is denying my claim?

Insurance companies deny and delay claims all the time — it's a strategy. That's exactly why having an experienced motorcycle accident attorney matters. They know how to push back, gather evidence, and fight for what you're owed. Getting matched costs you nothing, so there's no reason to face them alone.

What Texas Law Means For Your Motorcycle Accident Case

In Katy, 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.
