Frequently Asked Questions About Pedestrian & Bicycle Accidents

  • How long do I have to file a claim in Texas?

     Texas law gives you two years from the accident date to file a claim. However, the sooner you start, the better your chances of securing strong evidence.

  • What if the driver who hit me fled the scene?

     If you were injured in a hit-and-run accident, you may still be able to recover compensation through your own uninsured motorist (UM) coverage. Our team can help you explore all available options.

  • Can I recover damages if I was partially at fault?

     Yes. Texas follows a modified comparative negligence rule, meaning you can recover compensation as long as you were less than 51% responsible for the accident. However, your total settlement may be reduced based on your percentage of fault.
