If you were struck by a vehicle in Katy, you deserve a fighting attorney on your side — and we'll find you one fast.
Being hit by a car changes everything. One moment you're crossing the street or walking through a parking lot — the next you're in an ambulance. The injuries are real. The bills pile up fast. And the driver's insurance company is already working against you.
Pedestrian victims in Katy are often left dealing with broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, surgeries, and months away from work — all while insurance adjusters push low settlements or deny claims entirely. You shouldn't have to fight that battle alone.
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 could lose your right to recover anything. Don't wait — get matched with an attorney today.
Nothing upfront. Every attorney in the HurtMatch network works on a contingency fee basis. That means they only get paid if they recover compensation for you. No fee unless we win.
Call 911 first. Get medical attention even if you feel okay — some injuries appear later. Document everything you can: photos, driver information, witness names. Don't give a recorded statement to any insurance company. Then contact HurtMatch to get connected with an attorney right away.
Every case is different. Some settle within a few months once liability is clear and medical treatment is complete. Others take longer if the case goes to trial or involves disputed facts. Your matched attorney will give you an honest timeline based on your specific situation.
You may still have options. Your own auto insurance policy may include uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage. There may also be other liable parties — like a property owner or government entity. A pedestrian accident attorney can review your situation and identify every avenue available to you.
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.
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.
