Top Texas Personal Injury Attorney is Seriously Injured in Collision with Speeding Fire Truck
Brian Loncar, a well-known Dallas personal injury attorney who refers to himself in advertisements as the "Strong Arm," has been seriously injured when the 2008 Bentley that he was driving was hit by a fire truck that was racing toward a service call.
Loncar, 47, is the founder of Brian Loncar & Associates. He was taken to Parkland Memorial Hospital and said to be in critical condition, according to Tanya Eiserer, writing in The Dallas Morning News.
The paper reports that the force of the accident pushed Loncar's Bentley through the intersection where the fire truck hit the car and into a third vehicle carrying a woman and three children.
A Dallas police officer told Eiserer that the accident is under investigation, but since the fire truck had both its lights and siren on, Loncar will likely be charged with failure to yield to an emergency vehicle. In an ironic twist, the prominent lawyer himself could become the defendant in a wrongful injury lawsuit.
As the paper notes, Loncar is "one of the state's most prominent personal injury attorneys," adding that his advertising often includes the slogan, "When you're hurt in a car wreck, you need someone on your side." His commercials promise to help those injured "due to the negligence or misconduct of another person."
