When someone's negligence takes a life, your family deserves a skilled attorney who will hold them accountable — we'll match you with one fast.
Losing someone you love is devastating. When that loss happens because of another person's recklessness or negligence, the grief is compounded by anger, confusion, and financial pressure. Medical bills, funeral costs, and lost income don't pause while you mourn.
Navigating the legal system while grieving is overwhelming. Insurance companies move fast — and they don't have your family's best interests at heart. You need someone in your corner who does.
In Texas, the statute of limitations for wrongful death claims is generally 2 years from the date of death. If you miss this deadline, you may lose your right to pursue a claim entirely. Don't wait — contact us today.
Nothing upfront. The attorneys in our network work on a contingency fee basis, which means they only get paid if they win your case. There are no out-of-pocket costs to get started.
Every case is different. Some settle in several months; others take a year or more, especially if they go to trial. Your matched attorney will give you a realistic timeline based on the specifics of your situation.
First, take care of yourself and your family. When you're ready, preserve any evidence — photos, documents, accident reports, medical records. Avoid speaking with insurance adjusters alone. Then contact HurtMatch so we can connect you with an attorney quickly.
Under Texas law, a surviving spouse, children, or parents of the deceased may file a wrongful death claim. If none of them file within 3 months, the estate's executor may file on their behalf. An attorney can clarify who is eligible in your specific case.
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.
