When someone's negligence takes a life, your family deserves justice — and we'll connect you with the right attorney fast.
Losing someone you love is devastating. Now you're facing funeral costs, lost income, and a future you never planned for — all while grieving. Insurance companies move fast to protect themselves. You deserve someone in your corner just as quickly.
Wrongful death cases in Texas are complex and time-sensitive. Evidence disappears. Deadlines pass. Every day without legal representation can hurt your family's chances of holding the right people accountable.
Texas law gives most families two years from the date of death to file a wrongful death lawsuit. Missing this deadline can permanently bar your right to pursue a claim. Don't wait — contact us today.
Nothing upfront. Attorneys in our network work on a contingency fee basis, which means they only get paid if they recover compensation for you. There is no fee unless you win.
Every case is different. Some cases resolve in months through settlement; others go to trial and can take a year or more. Your attorney will give you a realistic timeline based on the specific facts of your case.
First, take care of yourself and your family. Then, preserve any evidence you can — photos, documents, witness contact information. Avoid speaking with insurance adjusters before consulting an attorney. Reach out to HurtMatch as soon as possible so we can connect you with the right legal help.
In Texas, surviving spouses, children, and parents of the deceased are eligible to file a wrongful death claim. If none of them file within three months, the executor of the estate may file on behalf of the family. An attorney can clarify exactly who qualifies in your situation.
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.
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.
