Highways 10 and 64 bring many 18-wheelers and other large trucks to Tyler, Texas. This means drivers and other road users are prone to accidents involving these vehicles. At Loncar Lyon Jenkins, our Tyler truck accident lawyers have the resources and technical knowledge to effectively handle truck accidents.
Since 1988, we have helped truck accident victims obtain payment for their past and future medical expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering. If a truck accident harmed you or a loved one (or led to your loved one’s passing), you may want to consider contacting us today to learn if you have a case. We will review your claim for free and represent you based on contingency.
If you partner with our truck accident attorneys, you can expect us to take on the following tasks for you:
Building a strong case for compensation calls for collecting solid evidence. In truck accident cases, common forms of evidence we compile include:
Our truck accident law firm can also work with accident reconstruction experts and other specialists to investigate truck accidents.
We could:
It’s typical for the other party’s insurance adjuster to call you within days of the accident. If that’s the case for you, have them contact your lawyer. Our firm will handle all communication with them, including phone calls, demand letters, and emails.
We will deal with them through negotiations, as well. Should they offer you a settlement that doesn’t meet your needs, we will present a counteroffer that does.
Often, we can reach an out-of-court settlement. However, if that’s unattainable, we will continue the fight for your financial recovery in a jury trial.
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.
Another option you have for compensation is filing a lawsuit against the responsible party. To pursue this legal route, you must comply with Texas’s statute of limitations. Per Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 16.003, you are generally permitted two years to file for personal injury or wrongful death.
With enough notice, our team can help you submit your paperwork on time. Waiting too long to act risks the deadline expiring. In that case, you will no longer be able to hold the liable party accountable for your losses.
While many law firms require upfront fees or retainers to take on a truck accident case – not Loncar Lyon Jenkins. We understand the financial burden these crashes can bring onto victims and their families, so we will work to limit your financial risk.
That is, we will not collect any attorney’s fees unless and until we obtain financial recovery for you. Therefore, if we don’t achieve a financial outcome, you don’t pay us.
The forms and amounts of compensation you can recover are dependent on the circumstances of your case, so there is no way to tell what your settlement or court award will look like without investigating the crash and how it has affected you.
However, accident victims may recover certain damages via an insurance claim or lawsuit, including:
Because truck accidents can be so devastating, people may lose their lives to related injuries. If you lost a family member in a crash, you may be able to recoup wrongful death damages. You could recover:
Trucks cause catastrophic injuries or death when they are involved in an accident with a car, a motorcycle, or a smaller truck.
When those accidents and injuries are the result of negligence, the law provides compensation to victims or their families. In our experience, we have seen that 18-wheeler accidents are caused by many forms of negligence, including:
After your commercial truck accident, there are a few actions you can take to protect yourself and your case. Our truck accident attorneys recommend that you:
