When you hire a Tyler construction accident lawyer at Loncar Lyon Jenkins, they can help during this challenging time in many ways, including:
Insurance companies have two goals: to sell claims and make money. To save their bottom lines, an insurance company will do everything possible to discredit valid claims. When pursuing a settlement, the insurer may blame you for the accident or unnecessarily drag out the claims process.
Construction sites are full of potential hazards, ranging from defective power tools to poor business practices. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has a list called the “fatal four.” It notes the four most common causes of injuries on construction sites, which include:
You have rights under Texas law as a construction worker. If another party’s negligence harmed you, you can seek compensation for the full cost of your injury-related losses.
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.
Under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 16.003, you generally have two years from the date of your accident to file a lawsuit. If you do not act within this period, you may forfeit your right to legal action.
You can protect your case’s outcome by connecting with our law firm as soon as possible. We can assess your situation and file your case within Texas’s statutory deadlines.
At Loncar Lyon Jenkins, our Tyler construction accident lawyers will calculate your losses based on your billing statements, invoices, and receipts. This allows us to have a figure in mind when negotiating with the insurer.
Compensation may include:
The party (or parties) that caused your injury should bear the costs of your current and future medical bills. We will help you collect compensation to cover medical-related expenses, including:
Losing time from work can strain your financial resources. The liable parties should pay for your lost earnings, and we want to hold them accountable.
Even if you can return to work, it might be at a lower capacity than before. Your injuries may be so severe that you can’t work in your preferred field at all. This change may affect your income, and if it does, the ones responsible for your injury should bear those costs.
A construction accident can cause immense physical and emotional pain, even affecting your relationships with others. Your lawyer will calculate pain and suffering and inconvenience based on your situation, including your condition’s severity.
You may be facing additional losses not listed above, including:
We will account for every economic and non-economic loss in your case’s overall value.
The International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health reports that falls are the leading causes of accidents on construction sites – just like OSHA suggests. The publication notes that these injuries are common on construction sites:
