In the aftermath of a serious accident, victims are left dealing with pain, confusion, and financial stress. Whether you were injured in a car crash on I-30, hurt in a workplace accident, or slipped and fell in a local business, you may be entitled to compensation. A skilled Grand Prairie personal injury attorney from Loncar Lyon Jenkins can help you hold negligent parties accountable and pursue maximum financial recovery. Our team has decades of experience advocating for injury victims across the Dallas-Fort Worth area, and we don’t back down.
Personal injury law exists to protect individuals harmed by someone else’s negligence, carelessness, or misconduct. These civil claims help injured people recover money for losses, including:
Medical bills
Lost wages
Pain and suffering
Disability and future treatment needs
Texas follows a modified comparative negligence rule, meaning you can recover damages if you’re less than 51% at fault—but your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of responsibility. This makes strong legal representation critical to protecting your claim.
At Loncar Lyon Jenkins, our attorneys handle a wide range of injury cases, including:
With major highways like I-20, SH 360, and SH 161 running through Grand Prairie, motor vehicle crashes are a common cause of personal injury claims. We handle:
Rear-end collisions
T-bone crashes at intersections
Rollover accidents
Drunk driving cases
Commercial truck and rideshare accidents
Our legal team investigates crash reports, traffic camera footage, and black box data to prove liability and maximize your recovery.
If you slipped on a wet floor at a grocery store, tripped on a broken sidewalk, or fell due to poor lighting in a parking lot, the property owner may be liable. These cases fall under premises liability law, which requires property owners to maintain reasonably safe conditions for guests.
Grand Prairie’s industrial and logistics sectors create a high risk for jobsite injuries. While workers’ compensation may provide partial relief, third-party lawsuits often provide broader compensation if defective equipment, outside contractors, or safety violations are to blame.
Texas doesn’t have a statewide dog bite statute, but owners can still be held liable for attacks under the “one bite rule” or if they were negligent in restraining a dangerous animal. Victims may suffer lacerations, infections, or even permanent disfigurement.
If a loved one dies due to someone else’s negligence, surviving family members can pursue a wrongful death claim. These lawsuits help cover funeral costs, lost financial support, and the emotional impact of your loss.
Texas law allows injury victims to pursue both economic and non-economic damages.
Medical expenses (emergency treatment, surgery, therapy)
Lost wages and future earning potential
Property damage (e.g., car repairs)
Pain and suffering
Mental anguish
Physical impairment
Loss of companionship
In cases of gross negligence or intentional harm, the court may also award punitive damages to punish the wrongdoer and deter similar conduct.
You typically have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit in Texas. If you miss this deadline, your case may be barred forever. There are limited exceptions, such as for injuries to minors or delayed discovery in medical malpractice cases.
Don’t wait—early legal action strengthens your case and protects your right to compensation.
Taking the right steps after an accident is key to building a strong case:
Seek medical care immediately. Even minor injuries can worsen over time.
Report the incident. File a police report or notify the property owner, employer, or other responsible party.
Preserve evidence. Take photos of your injuries and the scene. Keep medical records and receipts.
Don’t talk to insurance adjusters without a lawyer. They’re trained to minimize payouts.
