Questions

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

Texas law gives you two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. That deadline is strict. If you miss it, you can lose your right to recover anything. Don't wait — contact us today.

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

Nothing upfront. Every attorney we match you with works on a contingency fee basis. That means they only get paid if they win your case. There are no hidden fees, no retainers, and no out-of-pocket costs to get started.

How long does a pedestrian accident case typically take?

It varies. Some cases settle in a few months. Others that go to trial can take a year or more. Your attorney will work to resolve your case as efficiently as possible while still fighting for the best possible outcome for you.

What should I do immediately after being hit by a car in Fort Worth?

Call 911 first. Get medical attention even if you feel okay — injuries often appear later. Document the scene if you can. Get the driver's information. Don't give a recorded statement to any insurance company. Then contact HurtMatch to get connected with an attorney fast.

What if the driver who hit me didn't have insurance?

You may still have options. Your own auto insurance policy might include uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage. There may also be other liable parties. An experienced attorney can review your situation and identify every possible avenue for recovery.

What Texas Law Means For Your Pedestrian 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.
