The guidance and patience exhibited by Attorney LaRue and his team were paramount in the successful navigation of this event for my family and I. In a perfect world I won't have to ring his phone anytime soon, but should the Truck of Life dump on me again, I wouldn't hesitate to dial them up.

What to Do If You Were Hurt in an Accident in Garland

Our injury team will take on your case in all areas, but there are some things you can do to help boost your case’s validity, such as:

Visiting the Doctor As Soon As Possible

Emergency services may have been called to the scene and taken you to the hospital if you were in a severe rear-end collision on South Garland Avenue or suffered a hard fall at Allen Premium Outlets. If not, we urge you to go to your primary care physician immediately.

Your doctor should conduct a full physical exam, alongside other lab tests, to address your apparent injuries or detect any underlying complications. When they diagnose you, they will construct a treatment regimen for you to follow.

Adhering to this plan isn’t only vital for your health but also the strength of your case. If you don’t attend your follow-up appointments or take the prescribed medications, your condition may get worse. In that event, the liable insurer may blame you for your injuries and undervalue your claim altogether.

Always Refer the Insurer to Your Lawyer

Don’t be surprised if an insurance representative calls you within days of the accident—that’s part of the process. They may ask you for a recorded statement to get your take on the accident. However, giving them a statement may hurt you later on, as it would only protect their bottom line.

For example, if they ask you how you’re doing and you respond, “I’m fine,” they could claim that:

  • You caused the accident.
  • You’re not as hurt as you say you are.

As a result, the insurer may try to delay the claims process, devalue your claim, or refuse to pay it. So, when the representative calls you, direct them to your attorney. We will protect you from insurers acting in bad faith and pursue the compensation you need.

Determining If You have a Garland Injury Case for Compensation

The best way to find out if you have a case against the party who caused your injuries is to let a team member from Loncar Lyon Jenkins assess your legal options based on the details of your accident and injuries.

In most cases, we will apply your accident case to the theory of negligence, which typically consists of these four elements:

  • Duty of care: The other party was to act with prudence, keeping your safety their top priority.
  • Breach of duty: The other party acted negligently, carelessly, or recklessly.
  • Causation: This negligence led to an accident and your injuries.
  • Damages: You suffered emotionally, physically, and financially from the accident.

We can prove these hardships with evidence like medical bills, wage statements, car repair invoices, and other related bills and receipts.

What Compensation is Available to You After a Garland Injury?

If we can show that someone else’s careless behavior caused your injuries, the team from Loncar Lyon Jenkins could hold the at-fault party responsible for the losses and expenses you experienced.

This could include a wide range of economic costs, non-economic losses, and more. Some recoverable damages in a personal injury case could include:

  • Pain and suffering losses
  • Mental anguish
  • Reduced quality of life
  • Current and future medical care related to the injuries
  • Property damage expenses
  • Lost wages, including future income losses caused by lasting injuries
  • Scarring and disfigurement
  • Other expenses and losses unique to the case

Pursuing Damages for Families Who Lost a Loved One in Garland

Families who lost a loved one due to their injuries can pursue a wrongful death case against the negligent party under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 71.002.
