Getting Compensated for Your Damages
We can fight to pursue justice and compensation on your family’s behalf, if you lost a loved one in a car accident.
Your compensation will be based upon the value of your losses. Following a car accident, you may be faced with the following damages:
- Current medical expenses
- Future medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Property damage
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of consortium
- Wrongful death
These are just a handful of damages you may be experiencing. Loncar Lyon Jenkins wants to help you secure a fair award. We will negotiate with insurance companies for you so that you do not have to do so. We are prepared for any tricks they may use in an attempt to wrongfully deny or underpay your claim.
If we cannot secure fair damages through an insurance claim, then you may decide to file a lawsuit. At this point, we will continue to negotiate. We may be able to win damages for you before we even make it to court.
An out of court settlement would require you to sign a release following an agreement on a financial amount. The release would then forfeit any additional legal actions against the defendant. At this point, you would no longer be able to pursue further damages. So, be sure to follow your doctor’s advice, so that you can recover.

Filing a Personal Injury Claim Under the Statute of Limitations
When looking to file a personal injury claim following a car accident in El Paso, you must abide by Texas’ statute of limitations for personal injury lawsuits. The statute of limitations is the time period in which a claimant has to legally submit their lawsuit.
Under Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code section 16.003, the statute of limitations is within two years of the accident in Texas. If you fail to file a lawsuit within the two-year statute of limitations, you may be unable to seek compensation. The two years following your accident provides you time to gather all necessary evidence to pinpoint liability and prove that negligence was involved in your accident.
To learn more about filing a personal injury lawsuit under the statute of limitations in Texas, call Loncar Lyon Jenkins today at 877-239-4878 to begin a free case review and get one step closer to working with an El Paso elderly driver accident lawyer.
