How We Can Handle Your Case
When we take on your case, you can rest assured we will handle it from beginning to end. We provide the following legal services.
We will Investigate Your Pedestrian Accident
We will investigate, and if we find that your accident was caused by their negligence, then you may have a case for damages. We may call in accident reconstructionists and expert witnesses to get to the bottom of what happened. We can also counter an insurance adjuster’s determination of fault.
We will Negotiate with the Insurance Companies
With evidence in hand, we will go to the insurance companies to negotiate a fair outcome in your case. We will negotiate if necessary and prevent you from accepting an unfair settlement.
We will do what it Takes
Sometimes negotiation is just not enough; in these cases, we will take your case to court instead of settling against your interests. We will present your case to seek a court-awarded offer.
At Loncar Lyon Jenkins, we work on a contingency-fee basis, meaning we only get paid if we win money for you. Since our fee depends on success in your case, we are highly motivated to do right by you and your family.
Damages in Pedestrian Accident Cases
When you are involved in an accident, you may suffer from serious and long-term injury, and even permanent disability. The parties who are responsible for your accident are also responsible for these injuries and the losses that accompany them.
With the help of our pedestrian accident lawyer, you can recover two main types of compensatory damages: economic damages and non-economic damages.
Economic Damages in Pedestrian Accidents
If your accident resulted in serious injuries, you may face mounting medical bills with no way to work to pay them off. Economic damages can include coverage for measurable losses, such as:
- Doctors’ bills
- Hospital bills
- Surgeries
- Medications
- Physical therapy and rehabilitation
- Psychological services
- Medical equipment and devices
- Out-of-pocket expenses
- Lost wages
- Lost earning potential
- And other future expenses related to your injuries
If your loved one passed after being involved in a pedestrian accident, you can recover economic damages such as compensation for their medical bills, lost wages, lost future earnings, and funeral and burial expenses.
Non-Economic Damages in Pedestrian Accidents
In addition to these tangible financial losses, you may also face mental and emotional losses. If your accident caused you pain, distress, and inconvenience, you could recover non-economic damages, such as:
- Physical pain
- Mental and emotional suffering
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Loss of consortium if you lost your loved one
The amount of your settlement may be impacted by your ability to prove non-economic losses. Our pedestrian accident lawyer can give you a better idea of what kinds of non-economic damages you could expect given your situation after reviewing your case.

The Importance of Seeking Medical Attention
Medical documentation can help link your injuries to the accident, so make sure you go to a doctor immediately. Even if you did not have emergency medical care, you should get checked out as soon as possible.
If you delay seeking medical care, your injuries could worsen, and an insurer may claim you added to your injuries. They may use this information to deny or undervalue your claim.
To protect your rights to compensation, see a doctor and follow through with your treatment plan.
Deadlines for Bringing a Personal Injury Lawsuit
You do not have forever to file a personal injury lawsuit. The statute of limitations in Texas is generally two years from the time of the accident, per Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 16.003. The sooner you call us, the sooner we can be there for you and your family, guiding you through your options and fighting for your rights.
Keep in mind that it takes time to investigate a case, collect evidence, and negotiate with insurers. The longer you wait to file, the more you risk losing your right to seek compensation through legal action.
We can get started on your case immediately to help abide by these deadlines.
