Free · No fee unless you win
We connect injured pedestrians with experienced Houston attorneys who fight to hold drivers accountable — at zero upfront cost to you.
One moment you were crossing the street. The next, everything changed. Pedestrian accidents are violent. The injuries — broken bones, head trauma, spinal damage — can take months or years to heal. And while you're focused on recovering, insurance adjusters are already working to minimize what they owe you.
You shouldn't have to fight a billion-dollar insurance company alone. Medical bills pile up. You may not be able to work. The stress is overwhelming. That's exactly why we built HurtMatch — to get you connected with a proven Houston pedestrian accident attorney before it's too late.
Texas law gives you two years from the date of your accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. This is called the statute of limitations. Miss that deadline, and you could lose your right to recover anything. Don't wait — the sooner you connect with an attorney, the better.
Nothing upfront. Every attorney in the HurtMatch network works on contingency. That means you pay no fees unless your case results in a recovery. There are no hourly charges, no retainers, no hidden costs.
Call 911. Get a police report. Seek medical attention right away — even if you feel okay. Take photos of the scene, your injuries, and the vehicle if you can. Get contact information from the driver and any witnesses. Do not give a recorded statement to any insurance company before speaking to an attorney.
It varies. Some cases settle in a few months. Others — especially those involving serious injuries or disputed liability — can take a year or longer. Your attorney will work to resolve your case as efficiently as possible while pursuing the best outcome for your situation.
You may still have options. Your own uninsured motorist (UM) coverage, if you have it, could apply. In some situations, other liable parties — like a property owner or a government entity responsible for a dangerous intersection — may also be involved. An attorney can review all possible avenues for recovery.
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.
