Let an Injury Attorney from Loncar Lyon Jenkins Help You with Your Case
At Loncar Lyon Jenkins, our injury team is here to help injured parties and those who lost someone in a Garland injury incident. Last year, we helped thousands in Texas build a case and seek compensation for the injuries they suffered.
We advocate on behalf of our clients based on contingency fees. We do not ask for any money up front or out of pocket. Instead, our attorneys get paid from the settlement or financial award we recover for your case. We will not get paid unless we win for you.
The Loncar Lyon Jenkins Team Prepares Every Case for Trial
While we can negotiate settlements out of court for many of our clients, our injury attorneys prepare every case for trial. This willingness shows the at-fault party, their legal team, and their insurer that we mean business. They may be more likely to offer a fair and just settlement to avoid court.
The legal services our team will handle depend on the specific circumstances of your case but often include:
- Addressing your concerns and providing counsel about your case
- Protecting our clients’ rights
- Gathering evidence to support a positive outcome for you
- Working with experts who can help us develop a strong argument in court
- Proving negligence and liability
We will, of course, also handle all aspects of your legal case. This includes preparing documents, negotiating settlements, and representing you at trial if that is necessary in your case.

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.
Personal injuries occur under many circumstances. Our team represents people injured in incidents that include:
Traffic Accidents and Related Incidents
When a driver violates traffic laws or otherwise drives in a dangerous way that causes a crash, we may be able to prepare your case for trial and recover a payout on your behalf.

- Car accidents
