If you were injured in a motorcycle accident in Odessa, TX, you must take legal action as soon as possible to hold the negligent driver responsible for your accident-related losses. At Loncar Lyon Jenkins, our Odessa motorcycle accident lawyers can handle every aspect of your case, fighting for the fair compensation you deserve, for an accident that was not your fault.
Here are just some of the services that our law firm provides:
Using your testimony, the accident report, and other information, we can prove the cause of your accident and assert you were injured due to negligence. Even if we find that you partially caused the accident, that’s okay. As long as you didn’t cause most of the collision, you could seek damages.
However, your award will be reduced by your role in the accident, according to Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 33.001.
We don’t go into negotiations blind. When your lawyer meets with the liable insurer, they’ll know exactly what your damages are worth. We can calculate your case’s overall value by reviewing your:
We want you to receive compensation that fully pays for your losses. If the insurer doesn’t settle, we’ll file a lawsuit against the negligent driver and present your case accordingly.
Earlier, we talked about how insurance companies don’t always play fair. Well, they don’t call us “the Strong Arm” for nothing. We have no problem going toe-to-toe with uncooperative insurers and fighting for the money you are owed. Direct the insurance company to your motorcycle accident lawyer in Odessa if:
You don’t have time to deal with the insurance company while dealing with a serious accident. However, we do.
If your case makes it to court, we will:
Again, you must file your case within the appropriate deadline, or you could lose the right to seek damages.

Being in a motorcycle accident can cause more than financial losses—you could also be dealing with serious mental and physical consequences. We want you to be reimbursed for all of those hardships.
We can calculate and pursue the following losses on your behalf:
Healthcare expenses in your case could comprise:
Our team will consult with your doctors to learn more about the nature of your condition and the cost of your present and anticipated expenses.
If your injuries caused you to miss time from work or hurt your ability to make money in the future, you could be compensated for lost tips, commissions, income, and bonuses. If you missed out on any employee benefits because of your injuries, you could also include that loss in your claim’s overall value.
Non-economic damages compensate you for the non-financial aspects of your motorcycle accident and injuries.
Non-economic damages include losses like:
During this difficult time, we don’t want you to worry about affording a law firm; we want you to focus on your physical and emotional recovery. To help with this, we offer legal help on a contingency-fee basis. This means:
We’ve been helping people in Texas since 1988. During that time, we’ve learned a few things. Perhaps most importantly, we’ve learned that insurance companies don’t always play fair. So, when we take your case, we’ll build it as though we’re preparing for a courtroom battle.
Most injury accident cases are resolved through insurance negotiations. Yet, we want to be prepared if this doesn’t work in our favor. Keep these deadlines to file suit in mind:
You generally have two years to file an injury lawsuit, per Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 16.003
You generally have two years to file a wrongful death lawsuit, if you qualify under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 71.004
Filing your case outside of the mandatory deadline could bar you from seeking damages. The courts would dismiss your case and prevent you from filing your lawsuit again.
Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 16.063 outlines some exceptions that could extend the two-year deadline in your case. If the at-fault party left the state, this could be an exception to that time limit, for instance.
Don’t assume that any of the following exceptions apply to your case without consulting your motorcycle accident lawyer. A single misstep could invalidate your entire case. When you entrust your case to us, we will do everything possible to file it within the applicable deadline.
