A serious injury can take a toll on your finances, physical health, and overall quality of life. You may be entitled to compensation for your losses if somebody acted or failed to act in a way that contributed to your accident.
Loncar Lyon Jenkins serves accident victims in Tyler, and we want to see what we can do for you and your family. No one deserves to suffer severe injuries from a preventable accident. Our persona injury lawyers may be able to hold a negligent property owner, driver, or other party liable for your losses.
Your Injuries May Qualify You for Compensation
You may wonder if your injuries qualify for compensation, and the first step is to determine how they occurred and who owed you a duty of care. Some accidents prove unavoidable, but others result from a failure of a responsible party. A property owner, driver, or other entity could be liable in your case.
If your injury occurred in any of the following places, negligence might have contributed to your accident:
- Your place of work
- Your place of residence, or the residence of a friend or relative
- A business that you visit on a regular basis
- A road that your travel on routinely
- A public street or sidewalk that you have walked or jogged on countless times before without being injured
If a responsible party failed to act safely or prevent you from suffering from a foreseeable accident, you may have a case. We can listen to your account of the accident and determine your legal options. Our injury attorneys handle various types of personal injury cases, such as:
- Construction accidents
- Dog bite
- DWI accidents
- Oilfield accidents
- Slip and fall accidents
- Brain injury
- Catastrophic injury
- Wrongful death
- Pedestrian accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
- Truck accidents
- Car accidents
Whether your injuries or the death of a loved one arose from any of the above circumstances, you could be eligible to collect compensation. You might have suffered another type of accident not listed here. You could secure damages through a personal injury claim or wrongful death lawsuit. Our injury lawyers serving Tyler could help you pursue such a lawsuit.

Pursuing a Wrongful Death Claim
You could file a wrongful death claim for compensation if you lost someone you love due to another’s negligence. If you bring a wrongful death lawsuit on behalf of a loved one, you might be able to recover:

A personal injury lawyer with our firm can calculate your losses to ensure you pursue a fair award for the full extent of your losses. This way, you will not be left dealing with ongoing care costs in the future.
Potentially Liable Parties in a Tyler Personal Injury Accident Claim
If negligence caused or contributed to your accident in Tyler, you may be able to file an insurance claim or a lawsuit to pursue compensation. Consider the following potentially liable parties:
A Negligent Driver
Perhaps you were hit by a driver while traveling on Highway 155 or Highway 31. If they broke a traffic law or acted in a reckless manner to cause an auto accident, they may be liable for your injuries. Our team can review your case and help you pursue financial compensation for property damage, medical costs, and other losses.
A Negligent Property Owner
If you slipped and fell on a puddle caused by a consistent leak on private property, the premises owner might owe you compensation. If we can prove that they were aware of the leak and failed to fix it, we could prove they were negligent.
A Negligent Medical Care Provider
If you suffered injuries or illness due to a medical care provider’s negligence, you could sue them for your injuries. Causes of personal injury due to medical malpractice include misdiagnosis, drug administration, and surgical errors.
A Negligent Product Manufacturer
If you or your loved one suffered injuries due to a defective product, including a dangerous drug, medical device, or consumer product, you could hold the product manufacturer responsible. Our product liability lawyers can help you fight for compensation against giant corporations or small-scale manufacturers and distributors.

Proving Negligence in a Personal Injury Case
The outcome of your claim or lawsuit hinges on proving negligence. To show that the defendant acted negligently, an injury lawyer from our firm can help illustrate the four elements of negligence in your case. Your lawyer must:
Establish that the Defendant Owed You a Duty of Care
The duty of care compels a responsible party to protect you from any foreseeable risk of harm. A property owner owes you a duty of care when you enter their premises as a guest, invitee, or patron. Similarly, a driver owes you a duty of care when sharing the road, and a medical practitioner owes you a duty of care when diagnosing or treating your ailment.
Show that the Defendant Breached Their Duty of Care
A defendant can breach their duty of care in a number of ways, which may depend on the specific details of your case. For example, if a driver fails to observe your right of way, this traffic violation may constitute negligence.
Demonstrate a Link between Your Accident and the Onset of Your Injuries
Causation requires your lawyer to prove that the defendant in your lawsuit caused your injuries. They can work with your doctors, other medical experts, and reconstructionists to prove that the accident led to your injuries.
Account for Your Damages
The last step in proving negligence involves accurately assessing your financial losses. We can show that your injuries caused you to incur medical expenses, miss work, and suffer physically. We may use your bills, employment history, and other pieces of evidence to show that you suffered economic and non-economic losses.
