Injuries such as these are expensive. Few individuals or families have the resources to provide the care such injuries require. Our lawyers work hard to obtain the compensation that our injured clients need and deserve after a catastrophic injury. We also make sure that our clients are connected with the services and information they need to cope. We provide a strong arm to lean on in difficult times.
Establishing liability is one of the most important aspects of the catastrophic injury claims process. For many injury victims, proving that someone else is responsible for their injuries may be one of the only ways to recover compensation for their damages. Your lawyer will be responsible for proving liability based on a preponderance of the evidence. Evidence must clearly show that the defendant is more likely than not responsible for causing your catastrophic injuries.
Your catastrophic injuries lawyer will need to carefully examine the way in which your accident occurred to determine who is responsible for causing your injuries. For example, if you were involved in a collision with a drunk driver, you may be quick to assume that your lawsuit will be against the drug driver. However, with help from an attorney, you may discover that a local dram shop could also share liability for your catastrophic injuries.
Each year, Loncar Lyon Jenkins represents over 7,000 clients all over Texas and will travel to any city or town within the Lone Star state.
If you are interested in moving forward with a personal injury claim for a catastrophic injury in Tyler, you need to move quickly. The statute of limitations for personal injury and wrongful death claims in Texas is two years per Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 16.003. This means you will generally only have a maximum of two years from the date of your accident to get your claim filed.
However, this date could be delayed depending on various factors including when you were diagnosed with injuries relating to the accident. You can avoid having your case barred from the Tyler civil court system by having an experienced catastrophic injury attorney take on the legalities of your case.
