You Must Prove the Other Party Was Negligent To Recover Compensation
Proving negligence is an important aspect of a catastrophic injury case. The elements of negligence must be satisfied for a plaintiff to recover compensation, including:
- Duty of care: The defendant must have owed a duty to the plaintiff. The defendant must provide a standard level of care to the plaintiff.
- Breach of duty: The defendant must have breached their duty of care. This means they failed to exercise reasonable care for the plaintiff.
- Causation: The defendant’s breach of duty caused the plaintiff’s injuries. If the defendant had not breached their duty, the injuries would not have occurred.
- Damages: The plaintiff sustained legally recognized harm. The result of the accident must have resulted in actual damages to the plaintiff.
Attorneys from Loncar Lyon Jenkins can develop a solid case strategy to prove the other party’s negligence caused your injuries.
Frequently Asked Questions About Catastrophic Injuries
We want you to have as much information about your case as possible. Here are the answers to questions many of our clients have at the start of their cases.

Some accidents are more likely to lead to catastrophic injuries. Some of these accidents include:
- Car, truck, pedestrian, and motorcycle accidents
- Working with heavy machinery
- Medical malpractice

How Long Do I Have To File a Lawsuit?
After sustaining a catastrophic injury, Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 16.003 states you have two years from the accident date to file a lawsuit. Our attorneys can help you meet timelines to seek compensation for your injuries.
Once the statute of limitations is up, you can no longer recover compensation. Speaking with your attorney shortly after the accident will give us ample time to prepare a solid case strategy.
How Can Your Catastrophic Injury Attorney Help Me?
Our attorneys have handled many catastrophic injury cases and know how to negotiate with insurance companies and opposing attorneys to reach a fair settlement. Without an attorney, the insurance company may present a low offer or try to blame you for the accident.
