About Loncar Lyon Jenkins — Personal Injury Houston Texas
Loncar Lyon Jenkins is a personal injury Houston firm representing more than 7,000 injured clients each year across Harris County and the rest of Texas. The practice handles auto and truck collisions, motorcycle crashes, pedestrian and bicycle injuries, rideshare accidents, catastrophic injuries, and wrongful death claims. Houston injury suits typically file in the Harris County District Courts at 201 Caroline Street, with larger or commercial-trucking cases sometimes routed to federal court at the Bob Casey U.S. Courthouse. Because the firm tries cases regularly in these courts, clients benefit from familiarity with local judges and defense lawyers.
The firm operates on a strict contingency basis — no fee unless the client recovers money. Specifically, the office advances costs for accident reconstruction, medical records, and expert witnesses so injured clients are not out of pocket.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have to file a personal injury Houston claim?
Texas’s general statute of limitations for personal injury is two years from the date of the accident under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code §16.003. Wrongful death claims also carry a two-year window from the date of death. Specifically, missing this deadline almost always ends the claim, so prompt consultation matters greatly.
How does a contingency fee work in Texas?
Most Houston personal injury firms charge a contingency fee — typically 33% before suit and 40% after suit is filed — plus reimbursement of advanced case costs. Clients owe nothing if no recovery is obtained. The exact percentage and cost handling are spelled out in a written contract at intake.
Where are personal injury cases filed in Harris County?
Personal injury cases over $250 file at the Harris County Civil Courthouse at 201 Caroline Street in downtown Houston. Larger commercial trucking cases sometimes file in federal court at the Bob Casey U.S. Courthouse, 515 Rusk Street. Specifically, venue choices can substantially affect both timeline and outcome.
