Let Us Help You Get Compensation for Your Injuries and Losses

Our team at Loncar Lyon Jenkins is dedicated to ensuring you receive comprehensive compensation for all the hardships you’ve faced due to your injury.
Proving Negligence Is Key to Many Personal Injury Cases
Most personal injury cases require us to establish the negligence of the other party. Some nuances depend on that case– for example, manufacturers are often held strictly liable for harm from dangerous or defective products.
We know that most injury victims are unfamiliar with the complexities of proving liability in personal injury cases, but establishing negligence is central to your claim. We encourage people who are hurt in accidents to let our firm take on this and other tasks so you do not jeopardize your chances of recovery. Our lawyers must prove four key elements:
- Duty of Care: We must demonstrate that the defendant owed you a duty of care. This means they had a responsibility to act in a manner that prevents harm to others.
- Breach of Duty: Next, we’ll show that the defendant breached this duty through action or inaction, acting in a way that a reasonably prudent person would not have under similar circumstances.
- Causation: It’s crucial to link the breach of duty directly to your injuries. We’ll prove that the defendant’s actions (or lack thereof) were the direct cause of your harm.
- Damages: Finally, we will quantify the damages you suffered as a result of this negligence. This includes medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more.
Proving these elements requires a strategic and evidence-driven approach. Our team is committed to building your case, leveraging our expertise to ensure that justice is served and that you receive the compensation you deserve.

Are There Any Laws That Can Affect My San Antonio Personal Injury Case?
When it comes to personal injury claims and lawsuits, there are some laws that factor into your case. Here are some key considerations for cases:
Statute of Limitations
Texas sets a strict deadline for filing personal injury lawsuits – you have two years from the date of the injury to take legal action, per Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 16.003. Missing this window typically means you lose your right to sue, so it’s important to speak to a lawyer as soon as possible.
There are some scenarios where this deadline may be paused or extended, but this is not guaranteed.
Proportionate Responsibility Law
Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule, outlined in Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 33.001. If you’re found partly responsible for the incident leading to your injuries, your compensation can be reduced by your percentage of fault. Importantly, if you’re more than 50% at fault, you won’t be eligible to receive any damages.
Insurance companies will try to blame you for the accident and say you are more at fault than you truly are, so we encourage you to reach out to Loncar Lyon Jenkins to fight back against these insurance tactics.
Damage Caps
In some cases, Texas law imposes caps on the amount of damages you can recover. For example, non-economic damages in medical malpractice cases are capped. However, most personal injury cases, including those involving car accidents or slip and falls, do not have such caps.
Navigating these Texas laws can be complex, but our personal injury attorneys are equipped to guide you through every step, ensuring your case is handled effectively within these legal frameworks to achieve the best possible outcome.
