When negligence takes someone you love, you deserve answers, justice, and a lawyer who will fight — we connect you with the right one today.
Losing someone you love is devastating. When that loss was caused by another person's carelessness — a reckless driver, a negligent employer, a dangerous product — the grief is matched only by the anger. You shouldn't have to navigate funeral expenses, medical bills, and insurance companies alone while you're trying to hold your family together.
Insurance adjusters move fast. They call early, offer quick settlements, and hope you don't know your rights. Every day you wait without legal representation is a day they have the advantage. Your family deserves someone in your corner who knows Texas law and won't back down.
In Texas, the statute of limitations for wrongful death claims is generally 2 years from the date of your loved one's death. Miss that deadline and you may lose your right to file forever. Do not wait — contact us today.
Nothing upfront. Every attorney we match you with works on a contingency fee basis. That means they only get paid if they recover compensation for your family. Our matching service is also completely free.
Every case is different. Some settle within months; others go to trial and can take a year or more. Your attorney will give you a realistic timeline after reviewing the specific facts of your case.
First, take care of your family. When you're ready, preserve any evidence — photos, documents, police or accident reports. Avoid speaking with the at-fault party's insurance company without an attorney present. Then contact HurtMatch so we can connect you with legal help fast.
Under Texas law, a wrongful death claim can typically be filed by a surviving spouse, children, or parents of the deceased. In some cases, if no family member files within 3 months, the executor of the estate may file. An attorney can clarify exactly who qualifies in your situation.
In Austin, 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.
