If you’ve been injured due to the negligence of another party, whether in a car accident, slip and fall, or due to medical malpractice, personal injury lawyers can help you pursue compensation for your injuries. In Texas, personal injury cases are a broad category of legal claims designed to hold negligent individuals, companies, or entities accountable for their actions that caused harm. The experienced personal injury attorneys at Loncar Lyon Jenkins can help you fight for the compensation you deserve after an accident.
Types of Cases Handled in Texas
Personal injury lawyers handle a wide variety of cases. Whether you were involved in a car accident, a workplace injury, or suffered from medical malpractice, personal injury lawyers are essential in ensuring you get fair compensation.
Car Accidents
Car accidents are among the most common types of personal injury cases. Whether it’s a rear-end collision, head-on crash, or T-bone accident, the injuries can range from minor to severe, and a skilled personal injury lawyer can help you prove liability and pursue compensation for your damages.
Rear-End Collisions
Rear-end collisions often occur due to driver inattention, tailgating, or sudden braking. If you’ve been injured in a rear-end accident, a personal injury lawyer can assist you in proving the other driver’s negligence and securing compensation.
Head-On Collisions
Head-on collisions can be particularly catastrophic, resulting in serious injuries or fatalities. If you were involved in a head-on collision caused by another driver’s negligence, the personal injury attorneys at Loncar Lyon Jenkins can help you fight for justice.
T-Bone Accidents
T-bone accidents (or side-impact crashes) typically happen at intersections and often lead to serious injuries. A personal injury lawyer can help you investigate the cause of the crash and hold the responsible party accountable.
Truck Accidents
Truck accidents, especially involving 18-wheelers or delivery trucks, can result in life-threatening injuries due to the size and weight of commercial vehicles. If you’ve been in a truck accident, an attorney can help you pursue compensation from the responsible trucking company, driver, or other parties involved.
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle accidents can lead to catastrophic injuries due to the lack of protection offered to motorcyclists. Whether it’s a collision with a vehicle or a single-bike crash, our attorneys can help you seek compensation for your injuries and lost wages.
Pedestrian Accidents
Pedestrian accidents often occur at crosswalks, intersections, or when a driver fails to yield to a pedestrian. If you’ve been involved in a pedestrian accident, our team can help you hold the responsible party accountable and recover damages for your injuries.
Slip and Fall Accidents
Slip and fall accidents can happen anywhere, from wet floors in public places to uneven sidewalks. If you were injured in a slip and fall incident due to property owner negligence, a personal injury lawyer can help you file a claim against the responsible party.
Workplace Injuries
Workplace injuries occur frequently, especially in high-risk environments like construction sites. Whether it’s a fall, equipment malfunction, or repetitive strain injury, our lawyers can help you navigate the complexities of workers’ compensation claims and personal injury lawsuits.
Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider fails to meet the standard of care, leading to injury or harm. If you’ve been a victim of surgical errors, misdiagnosis, or delayed diagnosis, our experienced attorneys can help you seek justice.
Product Liability
Product liability cases involve injuries caused by defective or dangerous products, such as faulty automotive parts or household items. Our attorneys can help you pursue claims against manufacturers, retailers, and others responsible for producing or selling unsafe products.
Wrongful Death
Wrongful death cases arise when someone’s negligence or recklessness causes the death of another person. If you’ve lost a loved one in a fatal accident, a personal injury lawyer can help you pursue a wrongful death lawsuit to seek compensation for your loss.
Hiring a Personal Injury Lawyer
If you’ve been injured in an accident caused by someone else’s negligence, seeking the help of an experienced personal injury lawyer is critical to ensuring you receive the compensation you deserve. Texas law can be complex, and having a knowledgeable attorney by your side will help you navigate the legal system with confidence.

Personal Injury Claims Process in Texas
Navigating the personal injury claims process in Texas can be complicated, especially if you’re unfamiliar with the legal system. Here’s an overview of what to expect:
Statute of Limitations
In Texas, there is a statute of limitations that limits how long you have to file a personal injury claim. For most cases, you generally have two years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit. If you miss this deadline, you may lose your right to pursue compensation.
Comparative Negligence
Texas follows the modified comparative negligence rule, meaning that if you are partially at fault for the accident, your compensation may be reduced based on your percentage of fault. If you’re found to be 51% or more at fault, you cannot recover compensation. An attorney can help you prove the other party’s negligence and minimize your fault, ensuring you receive the maximum compensation possible.
Choosing a Personal Injury Lawyer
When choosing a personal injury lawyer it’s important to select an attorney who has experience handling your specific type of case.
Experience with Specific Case Types
Ensure that the lawyer has experience handling cases similar to yours, whether it’s a car accident, workplace injury, or medical malpractice. The more experienced the attorney, the better equipped they are to handle your case effectively.
Successful Case Outcomes
Look for a lawyer with a history of successful case outcomes. A proven track record shows that the lawyer has the knowledge and expertise to fight for favorable results.
Effective Communication
Your lawyer should be responsive and communicative, keeping you updated on the progress of your case and answering any questions you may have.
Transparent Fee Structure
A reputable personal injury lawyer should offer a transparent fee structure. Most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if you win your case. This ensures that your lawyer is motivated to win, and you don’t have to pay upfront fees.
