You were on foot — now you're hurt, overwhelmed, and facing bills. Let us match you with a proven Texas attorney who fights for pedestrian victims.
When a car, truck, or SUV hits a pedestrian, the injuries are serious. Broken bones. Head trauma. Long surgeries. Months of recovery. Meanwhile, the driver's insurance company is already building a case against you.
You didn't ask for this. But now you're dealing with hospital bills, missed work, and pain that won't quit. Insurance adjusters aren't on your side. A skilled Texas pedestrian accident attorney is. Don't face this alone.
In most cases, Texas law gives you 2 years from the date of your accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. If you miss that deadline, you could lose your right to recover anything. Don't wait — contact us now.
Nothing upfront. Attorneys in the HurtMatch network work on a contingency fee basis. That means you pay no legal fees unless your attorney wins or settles your case. There is no fee to get matched.
Call 911 first. Get medical attention even if you feel okay — some injuries don't show up right away. Document everything you can: photos, driver info, witness names. Don't give a recorded statement to any insurance company before speaking to an attorney.
Every case is different. Some settle in a few months once medical treatment is complete. Others involving serious injuries or disputed liability can take a year or longer. Your attorney will give you a realistic timeline based on your specific situation.
You may still have options. Your own auto insurance policy may include uninsured motorist coverage, even as a pedestrian. An attorney can review your policy and identify every possible source of recovery available to you.
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.
