At Loncar Lyon Jenkins, we help victims of motorcycle accidents pursue the legal action necessary for their case.

Insurance companies and opposing lawyers know this and may settle the case for a fair amount rather than go to court.
Other things we can do include:
Motorcycle accidents can change lives. If your accident was not your fault, the liable party (or their auto insurer) should provide you with financial resources for your medical care and other collision-related damages. Our Lubbock motorcycle accident lawyers can help you pursue compensation for the following:
Motorcyclists do not have airbags, seatbelts, or cabs to protect them during a car accident. As a result, riders may get thrown from their bike and sustain severe physical harm that may take weeks or months to heal. If you suffered a permanent injury, your need for medical care could continue throughout your lifetime.
Ongoing medical care is expensive, especially when it comes to catastrophic injuries like spinal cord injuries and traumatic brain injuries. The lifetime costs associated with such care can easily reach millions of dollars. We can help you seek compensation for your current and future treatment, including:
Your condition or injuries could prevent you from working. You could list lost paychecks, benefits, bonuses, and tips on your demand letter to the insurance company.
You might have to leave your job and take one that pays less or only work part-time because of your motorcycle accident injuries. You might even be unable to work at all. We can take a look at your options and pursue awards for your lost future earnings and lost earning capabilities.
Your Lubbock accident could have damaged your motorcycle. The repair costs are a compensable loss. If you had to replace the motorcycle, our lawyers can consider this when calculating the value of your losses and seek a sum for its fair market value.
The insurance company should not ignore your pain and suffering (and any mental trauma the accident caused). We can help you pursue monetary awards for these losses. It can be difficult to assign value to them by yourself. However, we have helped other clients evaluate their intangible damages. We can do the same for you.
We can work with health care professionals, mental health specialists, and other experts to better understand how the physical, mental, and emotional consequences of your accident affect your overall well-being and day-to-day life. We can then pursue compensation for:
If the reckless actions of another person resulted in the death of your loved one, you have legal options. Depending upon your relationship with the victim, you may qualify for a wrongful death case.
Losing a loved one who died doing what they enjoyed—riding their motorcycle—is upsetting. Learning that their death was most likely preventable had the other driver used care is infuriating
Costs such as your loved one’s final medical expenses and funeral are often part of an award in a wrongful death case. Other types of possible compensation include loss of income and loss of companionship.
These particular types of damages are often more difficult for juries to understand due to the lack of a specific value. However, a motorcycle accident lawyer from Loncar Lyon Jenkins can present your case in a way that makes the value of your loss easier to understand.
Your time of immense grief is no time to deal with the details of your loved one’s accident. Let us advocate on behalf of you and your family.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), four major causes of motorcycle crashes are:
Left Turns
About 42 percent of fatal motorcycle accidents involving other vehicles occur due to another vehicle failing to yield the right-of-way.
Blind Spots
Nearly half of the area surrounding a vehicle contains blind spots. This leads to collisions with motorcycles when drivers fail to adjust their mirrors.
Failure to See Motorcyclists
About 41 percent of motorcycle accidents are due to drivers simply “failing to see” the motorcycle. This can be due to construction, terrain, weather, lighting, or another obstruction.
Most motorcyclists downshift to slow down rather than brake. This action can confuse drivers who rely on brake lights as an indicator of slowing or stopping.
Other causes of motorcycle accidents that involve driver misconduct and negligence include:
There is no way to predict the misconduct of other drivers. No matter how safely you operate your motorcycle, one action or inaction can affect you. A single distracted or drowsy driver in Lubbock can change your life forever. Our lawyers can help you return to a sense of normalcy after the accident.
