Free · No fee unless you win
You're hurt, overwhelmed, and the clock is ticking — let us connect you with a proven San Antonio pedestrian accident attorney in 60 seconds, at no cost to you.
Being struck by a vehicle changes everything in an instant. Medical bills pile up. You can't work. The pain is real — and so is the stress of not knowing what comes next. Insurance adjusters may already be calling, pushing you to settle fast before you understand what your injuries truly cost you.
Pedestrians have almost no protection against a car, truck, or SUV. Injuries are often severe — broken bones, head trauma, spinal damage, or worse. You deserve an attorney who will fight for you, not rush you into a lowball offer. Time matters. Texas law only gives you two years from the date of your accident to file a claim.
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. Missing that deadline typically means losing your right to pursue compensation entirely — so don't wait.
Nothing upfront. The attorneys in our network work on a contingency fee basis. That means they only get paid if your case results in a recovery. No fee unless we win — period.
Every case is different. Some cases settle with insurance companies within a few months. Others that involve disputed liability or serious injuries may take a year or more, especially if litigation is required. Your matched attorney will give you a realistic timeline based on your specific situation.
First, call 911 and get medical attention — even if you think your injuries are minor. Get a copy of the police report. Take photos of the scene, your injuries, and the vehicle if you can. Get the driver's insurance and contact information. Do not give a recorded statement to any insurance company before speaking with an attorney.
You may still have options. Your own auto insurance policy may include uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage that could apply. An experienced pedestrian accident attorney can review all potential sources of recovery available to you and advise you on next steps.
In San Antonio, 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.
