How an Attorney Strengthens Your Motorcycle Accident Claim
In many motorcycle accident cases, having an attorney is the only way to ensure your claim includes the full value of your damages and that unfair blame games don't derail your right to compensation.
To strengthen your claim, your attorney can:
- Investigate the crash site thoroughly to identify every responsible party.
- Gather traffic camera recordings and witness statements.
- Work closely with your healthcare providers to document the full severity of your injuries.
- Calculate all financial losses accurately, including future medical bills and lost wages.
- Negotiate to reduce medical liens so you can keep more of your settlement money.
- File a lawsuit and protect your rights in court if the insurer refuses to offer a fair payout.
Securing legal representation early significantly improves your odds of a successful outcome.
Nebraska Motorcycle Statutes and Your Rights
Several state traffic laws regularly impact motorcycle injury claims.
Under Neb. Rev. Stat. § 60-6,279, riders who are 21 or older may operate without helmets if they complete a safety course and wear eye protection, while younger operators must wear helmets. Therefore, if you lawfully rode without a helmet, insurers cannot use that fact to blame you for the collision.
Additionally, Nebraska statutes prohibit lane splitting, but entitle riders to full lane use. Drivers who crowd motorcyclists or follow them too closely violate state law and may be negligent for any accidents caused.
Deadline to File a Motorcycle Crash Lawsuit in Nebraska
Nebraska statutes provide a four-year time limit from the crash date to initiate a personal injury suit. A two-year filing limit applies to wrongful death actions, while claims involving government entities may have special notice rules. Missing these deadlines can eliminate your right to seek financial recovery.
