A catastrophic injury can affect you for the rest of your life. Spinal cord injuries and severe burns are a few examples of catastrophic injuries that are suffered in car accidents, slips and fall incidents, and construction accidents. Treatments may be available to help you cope with the physical and/or psychological pain you might be experiencing, but the effects could be long-term and will likely require you to seek ongoing medical treatment.
A Plano catastrophic injuries lawyer from our firm may be able to help. If you suffered a catastrophic injury as a result of someone else’s negligent behavior, Loncar Lyon Jenkins is here to determine if your injuries warrant compensation and help you seek it.
How an Attorney Can Help After You’ve Suffered a Catastrophic Injury
When someone else’s careless choices are responsible for the condition you are now left to live with, it is only fair that they are held accountable for their behavior. One way to do this is to seek financial relief from the at-fault party. Catastrophic injuries are costly to treat not only because they are severe in nature but also because the care is ongoing.
According to the Mayo Clinic and MedlinePlus, spinal cord injuries and severe burns can have lasting medical consequences. Although costs vary by person and by injury type, you could be paying extensive medical bills if you suffered a spinal cord injury that led to any of the following conditions:
- High tetraplegia
- Low tetraplegia
- Paraplegia
- Incomplete motor function
Although health insurance, disability insurance, and other forms of assistance might be available to help you afford the costs associated with your injury, the person who caused the accident should bear most of the responsibility of getting these costs covered. The attorneys at Loncar Lyon Jenkins want to help.
If you suffered any of the following types of catastrophic injuries, you are encouraged to contact our office for a free case evaluation:

- Traumatic brain injury (TBI)

Types of Catastrophic Injury Cases Our Firm Represents
A catastrophic injury can be the result of any of the following types of accidents:
Motor Vehicle Accidents
If another driver’s negligent behavior caused a collision that resulted in you suffering a traumatic brain injury (TBI), spinal cord injury, or any other type of catastrophic injury, our firm can help you file an insurance claim with the other party’s insurer or even yours if they are underinsured or uninsured.
Slip and Fall Accidents
Property owners and operators in Texas are required to monitor and maintain their property so that it is reasonably safe for people to enter. If an unsafe or hazardous condition exists, the owner/operator is then required to warn potential visitors so they can make an informed decision as to whether they want to enter.
If a property owner failed to carry out their duties by ensuring their premises were safe and you suffered an injury on their premises, then a Plano catastrophic injuries lawyer with our firm can look into whether the property owner was negligent and help you take legal action against him/her given it is warranted.
Construction Accidents
Construction sites are by far some of the most dangerous places to work, which is why employers and other third parties hired to work on these sites must ensure they are complying with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) standards and providing workers with the proper safety gear. If you were injured in a construction accident that was caused by faulty equipment, defective safety gear, or because one or more parties were not following state and federal safety regulations, then we may be able to help you recover compensation from them to help you cover your accident-related expenses.
Pedestrian Accidents
If you or a loved one suffered a catastrophic injury as a result of a pedestrian accident, Loncar Lyon Jenkins can review your case and determine if the party who hit you can be held responsible for the accident.
Although it may be clear to you that it was the driver’s careless behavior that caused the accident, a Plano catastrophic injuries lawyer with our firm will need to prove this through clear and convincing evidence.
