Auto Accident Lawyer
The aftermath of a motor vehicle collision can be chaotic and stressful, leaving the accident victim injured, out of work, and unsure of what the future holds. If you were involved in a car crash caused by the negligence of another, an auto accident lawyer at Loncar Lyon Jenkins can help. Our dedicated and knowledgeable auto accident attorneys know what it takes to build a strong case and will work tirelessly to help you pursue the compensation you deserve for a car accident that was not your fault.
How Can An Auto Accident Attorney Help?
Not every car accident requires the assistance of an attorney. However, if you are dealing with the following issues, having an experienced auto accident attorney in your corner can level the playing field:
- Your insurance claim was denied
- The insurance company is refusing to make a fair settlement offer
- The insurance company is delaying the claims process
- You were injured
- Multiple parties are involved
Handling the Insurance Claims Process
A skilled auto accident attorney on our legal team will handle every aspect of the claims process, including:
- Investigating the accident
- Gathering evidence
- Assessing damages
- Consulting with experts
- Negotiating with the insurance company
- Filing a lawsuit on your behalf, if the insurance company refuses to make a reasonable settlement offer
An insurance company can be challenging to work with. In most cases, the claims adjuster will make a settlement offer that doesn’t seem fair, and usually, these offers are not. Unfortunately, many insurance adjusters are hoping that accident victims don’t know the true value of their claims and will accept initial settlement offers. These settlements are never large enough to cover the cost of accident-related damages. When you work with an auto accident lawyer at Loncar Lyon Jenkins, they will carefully evaluate your claim to determine its value. They may even consult with experts if you sustained a serious injury that may require medical treatment in the future.
At our firm, our goal is to ensure that every client walks away with a settlement that will cover the cost of accident-related losses, now and in the future.

What to Do After a Car Accident
If you were involved in a car crash, you must take certain steps to protect your rights and your claim.
Following a car crash:
- Contact 911 if anyone was injured or the non-emergency police if no injuries are apparent
- Exchange contact and insurance information with the other driver
- Speak with law enforcement and provide only the facts
- Do not apologize for the accident or admit fault
- Gather evidence, such as photos of the accident scene, skid marks, anything that may have contributed to the accident, vehicle damage, and photos of your injuries
- Obtain the names and contact information of any witnesses
- Seek medical treatment as soon as possible, even if you feel fine
- Report your accident to your insurance company
- Contact an auto accident lawyer to schedule a free consultation
What is the Statute of Limitations in Texas?
You will have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit against the negligent party. If you miss this deadline, your case may be dismissed and you will be unable to recover any compensation for your accident-related damages. When you hire an attorney, they can handle every aspect of your insurance claim or lawsuit, including ensuring all paperwork is filed correctly and within the statute of limitations.
