Tyler Personal Injury Lawyer

A serious injury can take a toll on your finances, physical health, and overall quality of life. You may be entitled to compensation for your losses if somebody acted or failed to act in a way that contributed to your accident.

Loncar Lyon Jenkins serves personal injury victims in Tyler, and we want to see what we can do for you and your family. No one deserves to suffer injuries from a preventable accident. Your lawyer may be able to hold a negligent property owner, driver, or other party liable for your losses.

Your Injuries May Qualify You for Compensation

You may wonder if your injuries qualify for compensation, and the first step is to determine how they occurred and who owed you a duty of care. Some accidents prove unavoidable but others result from a failure of a responsible party. A property owner, driver, or government entity could be liable in your case. If your injury occurred in any of the following places, negligence might have contributed to your accident:

• Your place of work
• Your place of residence, or the residence of a friend or relative
• A business that you visit on a regular basis
• A road that your travel on routinely
• A public street or sidewalk that you have walked or jogged on countless times before without being injured

If a responsible party failed to act in a safe way or prevent you from suffering from a foreseeable accident, then you may have a case. We can listen to your account of the accident and determine your legal options. We handle various types of personal injury cases, such as:

• Construction accidents
• Dog bite
• DWI accidents
• Oilfield accidents
• Slip and fall accidents
• Brain injury
• Catastrophic injury
• Wrongful death
• Pedestrian accidents
• Motorcycle accidents
• Truck accidents
• Car accidents

Whether your injuries or the death of a loved one arose from any of the above circumstances, you could be eligible to collect compensation. You might have suffered another type of accident not listed here. You could secure damages through a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit. Our lawyers serving Tyler could help you pursue such a lawsuit.

Potentially Liable Parties in a Tyler Personal Injury Accident

If negligence caused or contributed to your accident in Tyler, you may be able to file an insurance claim or a lawsuit to pursue compensation. Consider the following potentially liable parties:

A Negligent Driver

Perhaps you were hit by a driver while traveling on Highway 155 or Highway 31. If they broke a traffic law or acted in a reckless manner, they may be liable for your injuries.

A Negligent Property Owner

If you slipped and fell on a puddle caused by a consistent leak on a private property, the premise owner might owe you compensation. If we can prove that they were aware of the leak and failed to fix it, we could prove they were negligent.

A Negligent Government Municipality

You may be able to sue a government municipality after a negligent act led to your injuries. For example, if you got injured on public property or experienced a car accident due to hazardous road conditions, a government entity may be liable for your losses. Making a civil case against a government municipality is complex, and the process comes with its own rules and deadlines.

Proving Negligence in a Personal Injury Case

The outcome of your claim or lawsuit hinges on proving negligence. To show that the defendant acted negligently, an injury lawyer from our firm can help illustrate the four elements of negligence in your case. Your lawyer will have to:

Establish That the Defendant Owed You a Duty of Care

The duty of care compels a responsible party to protect you from any foreseeable risk of harm. A property owner owes you a duty of care when you enter their premises as a guest, invitee, or patron. Similarly, a driver owes you a duty of care when sharing the road.

Show That the Defendant Breached Their Duty of Care

A defendant can breach their duty of care in a number of ways, which may depend on the specific details of your case. For example, if a driver fails to observe your right of way, this traffic violation may constitute negligence.

Demonstrate a Link between Your Accident and the Onset of Your Injuries

Causation requires your lawyer to prove that the defendant in your lawsuit caused your injuries. They can work with your doctors, other medical experts, and reconstructionists to prove that the accident led to your injuries.

Account for Your Damages

The last step in proving negligence involves accurately assessing your losses. We can show that your injuries caused you to incur medical expenses, miss work, and suffer physically. We may use your bills, employment history, and other pieces of evidence to show that you suffered economic and non-economic losses.
