How Can a Longview Personal Injury Attorney Help?

It may not always be clear when you have the right to file a personal injury claim in Longview. However, there are several questions you can ask yourself to determine whether you should move forward with a personal injury insurance claim or civil suit. Some of these questions include:

  • Have your injuries had a significant impact on your life emotionally, physically, or financially?
  • Are your injuries expected to have an impact on your life physically, emotionally, or financially in the future?
  • Is someone else to blame for causing your accident or resulting injuries?
  • Could another party’s negligence or misconduct be responsible for your accident or injuries?

The team at Loncar Lyon Jenkins has helped thousands of clients recover millions of dollars in compensation. We do this by first offering free evaluations to all callers and listening carefully to what the prospective client has to say. This allows us to:

  • Determine if the person has a valid legal case that we can help with
  • Start figuring out how we can best help the person
  • Explain to the person what their options are and how we work

Once someone signs a contract with us, we bring the full power of our office to bear on their case. Whether they have sustained a personal injury themselves or are filing a wrongful death suit, we tailor our services to their specific needs. Depending on your circumstances, we can:

  • Investigate the case: We conduct our own investigations rather than relying solely on the police or the insurance companies.
  • Negotiate a settlement: In many cases, we can avoid the courtroom and get our clients a faster payout by negotiating a pretrial settlement.
  • Go to court: In the cases where a pretrial settlement is not obtainable, we are not afraid to face the liable party in the courtroom.
  • Speak to others: At no point during the case do you have to face the liable party alone. We can either accompany you to all meetings or appear in your stead.

Throughout the entire process, we put our clients’ needs first. From keeping you updated to arranging virtual visits, Loncar Lyon Jenkins always strives to provide clients with the best possible service to help them through a very difficult time.

Proving Negligence

Our personal injury attorneys have handled many personal injury cases and understand that each case is different. To win a personal injury case, you must prove the other party was negligent. 

Several elements of negligence must be proven. The elements of negligence include:

  • The defendant owed the plaintiff a legal duty of care.
  • The defendant breached the duty of care.
  • The breach of duty caused the victim to sustain their injuries.
  • The victim incurred damages because of their injuries.

To prove the plaintiff’s case, all of the elements of negligence must be satisfied. Once our personal injury attorneys begin working on your case, we can develop a solid case strategy.

Damages You Could Recover in a Personal Injury Case

To determine the amount of compensation you could recover in a personal injury case, our attorneys will review your damages. Damages refer to the compensation a court will order the other party to pay if the injury was caused by their negligence. Damages in a personal injury case include:

  • Medical expenses: Emergency medical services, hospitalizations, medications, surgeries, diagnostic testing, doctor’s appointments, rehabilitation services such as occupational therapy or physical therapy, and ambulance services.
  • Future medical expenses: The projected costs of medical expenses in the future after your case has been settled.
  • Lost earnings: The earnings you lost if you had to be out of work while you recovered from your injuries.
  • Lost future earnings: The projected earnings you will lose if you have to be out of work in the future after your case has settled. If you are unable to return to work at all, you could be compensated for the lost income, retirement benefits, and medical benefits.
  • Property loss or replacement: The costs to repair or replace any of your property that was damaged during the incident that caused your injuries.
  • Pain and suffering: You could recover compensation for the pain, discomfort, anguish, or inconvenience you endured because of your injuries.
  • Emotional distress: You could recover compensation if your injuries caused you to endure negative psychological impacts.
  • Loss of enjoyment: You could recover compensation if you are no longer able to enjoy your life to the extent you did before you were injured.

Damages you could recover if your loved one passed away from their injuries include:

  • Medical costs for any life-saving medical care or comfort measures
  • Funeral and burial/cremation costs
  • Loss of consortium
  • Lost income or benefits the decedent provided

Our personal injury attorneys extend our sincerest condolences if you lost a loved one unexpectedly. Although no amount of money will bring your loved one back, it can ease the financial burden you and your family are faced with after your loved one passes away. After reviewing your damages, we will calculate the value of your losses to determine how much compensation we will seek.

How Much Does a Legal Consultation Cost?

We provide free consultations to all potential clients. During the consultation, we can discuss what happened and how you got injured. We can listen to you describe the extent of your injuries and how they have impacted you financially, physically, and emotionally. Our legal team works on a contingency fee, which means we do not charge for our services unless you recover monetary compensation. If you don’t get paid, we don’t get paid.

How Long Do I Have To File a Personal Injury Lawsuit in Longview, TX?

After you get injured, your priority may be to heal your injuries. Some injuries might not show up immediately after the accident or will worsen throughout time. Although filing a personal injury claim might not be the first thing on your mind, it can be helpful to your case. Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 16.003 states you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit.

Speaking with an attorney from our firm soon after your case can be helpful for several reasons. First, we will handle communications with the insurance company and negotiate an appropriate settlement. Second, we can help you to file a lawsuit before the statute of limitations runs out. Once the statute of limitations runs out, you may not be able to recover compensation for your injuries.
