Common Cases We Handle
Our firm represents clients in a wide variety of personal injury matters throughout Nebraska.
- Car Accidents: Car crashes are among the leading causes of serious injuries in Nebraska. Distracted driving, speeding, intoxicated driving, and reckless behavior often contribute to devastating collisions.
- Truck Accidents: Commercial truck accidents can result in catastrophic injuries due to the size and weight of tractor-trailers and other large vehicles. These cases may involve trucking companies, maintenance providers, cargo loaders, and other liable parties.
- Motorcycle Accidents: Motorcyclists are especially vulnerable to severe injuries when negligent drivers fail to share the road safely.
- Product Liability Claims: Manufacturers and distributors may be held responsible for dangerous or defective products that cause injuries to consumers.
- Medical Malpractice: Doctors, hospitals, nurses, and healthcare providers may be held accountable when medical negligence causes serious harm to patients.
- Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect: Elderly nursing home residents deserve safe and respectful care. Abuse, neglect, falls, malnutrition, and medication errors can lead to serious injuries and wrongful death claims.
- Wrongful Death: If you lost a loved one because of another party’s negligence, our firm can help your family pursue justice and financial compensation through a wrongful death claim.
Nebraska Personal Injury Laws
Nebraska personal injury laws can directly impact your ability to recover compensation after an accident. Understanding these laws is important when pursuing a claim.
Statute of Limitations
In Nebraska, most personal injury lawsuits must be filed within four years from the date of the accident. If you fail to file your claim within the applicable deadline, you may lose your right to seek compensation entirely.
However, some cases involve different deadlines. Claims against government entities, for example, may require special notice procedures and shorter filing periods.
Comparative Negligence Rule
Nebraska follows a modified comparative negligence rule. This means an injured victim may still recover compensation even if they were partially at fault for the accident, provided they were less than 50% responsible.
For example:
- If you are found 20% at fault, your compensation may be reduced by 20%
- If you are found 50% or more at fault, you may be barred from recovering damages
Insurance companies frequently try to shift blame onto injury victims. Our attorneys work to challenge unfair allegations and protect your right to compensation.
Duty of Care
Most personal injury claims are based on negligence. To recover compensation, injured victims generally must prove:
- The defendant owed a duty of care
- The defendant breached that duty
- The breach caused the injury
- The victim suffered damages
Our firm carefully investigates every case to establish liability and build compelling claims on behalf of our clients.
Common Injuries
Personal injury accidents can lead to a wide range of injuries, from minor conditions to life-altering disabilities.
Some of the most common injuries we see include:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
- Spinal cord injuries
- Broken bones
- Neck and back injuries
- Burns
- Internal bleeding
- Soft tissue injuries
- Whiplash
- Nerve damage
- Amputations
- Permanent disabilities
- Emotional trauma and PTSD
Some injuries may require extensive rehabilitation, surgeries, long-term medical care, or lifelong assistance. Our attorneys work with medical experts and financial professionals to understand the full impact of your injuries.
Compensation Available to Injured Victims
If another party’s negligence caused your injuries, you may be entitled to financial compensation for both economic and non-economic damages.
Depending on the circumstances of your case, compensation may include:
Medical Expenses
You may recover compensation for:
- Emergency room treatment
- Hospitalization
- Surgeries
- Physical therapy
- Prescription medications
- Medical devices
- Future medical care
