At Loncar Lyon Jenkins, our pedestrian accident attorneys in Lubbock can help you during this challenging time by:
If you suffered injuries in a pedestrian accident, Loncar Lyon Jenkins can fight to secure compensation from the at-fault party. Typically, most personal injury claims are filed under the basis of negligence, as explained by the American Bar Association (ABA).
This involves showing:
Understanding these concepts can be difficult without our firm on your side. Yet, you don’t have to learn the law to recover compensation through a claim or lawsuit. You can have our team handle that for you.
Our investigation might reveal that one or more of the following parties caused your accident:
Additionally, even if you were partially at fault in the accident, you may still be able to collect damages. Texas operates under a modified comparative negligence doctrine. This means that if your negligence did not primarily cause the pedestrian accident, you can still collect a financial award.
If we can’t settle your case through insurance negotiations, we will:

Some accident victims refrain from calling law firms because they think they cannot afford representation. We work on a contingency-fee-basis, so:
We can’t win your case? No problem. You don’t pay our attorney’s fees. At the beginning of our partnership, we’ll outline our terms of payment. That way, you know exactly what to expect.

Following a pedestrian accident, you may be faced with a variety of damages, such as:
At Loncar Lyon Jenkins, our legal team is prepared to gather evidence that proves the cost of your damages and the other party’s role in your accident. We will use police reports, surveillance video, photographs, eyewitness testimony, and more to establish these factors.
If you’re unable to recover compensation through insurance negotiations, you may need to file a lawsuit. According to Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code §16.003, you generally have two years from the date of your accident or loved one’s passing to do this. Negotiating a settlement, interviewing witnesses, and getting treatment do not extend this deadline.
By failing to file your case in the appropriate manner, the courts may refuse to hear your case. This would leave you with few (if any) financial recovery options.
Aside from the two-year deadline, pursuing legal action in a timely manner helps because:
Without evaluating your accident and injuries, we can’t give a confident answer to this question. We will fight for every dollar you are owed after calculating the value of your damages.
These factors could add to the overall value of your case:
Once we take your case, we’ll immediately put it in motion. Yet, while our team prides itself on timeliness, some factors could prolong the duration of your case, including:
We will prevent the insurance company from unnecessarily dragging out your case.
Just like the overall value of your case, we’ll calculate your pain and suffering based on the circumstances of your accident. We’ll take into account your missed time from work, medical treatment costs, and relationships.
