What Attorneys Do for You After a Crash
It can be difficult to understand your rights, much less the full value of your claim, without experienced legal representation. The insurance company won't help you. They want to undervalue or deny your claim. Your attorney, on the other hand, will help you recover full compensation for your injuries, pain, and suffering.
Your attorney will take over and:
- Document the crash scene, including road conditions, signals, and sight lines.
- Request dashcam, business, and traffic footage before it's overwritten.
- Gather witness accounts while memories are still fresh.
- Coordinate your medical benefits and track every bill.
- Push back when the insurer undervalues your injuries.
- Take your case to court if this is the best path for securing fair compensation.

Accidents and Injuries That Can Support a Claim
Under Nebraska's at-fault rules, you can pursue injury compensation from the driver who caused your crash.
These claims can arise after any accident where a driver violated a traffic law or otherwise failed to exercise reasonable care. They most frequently involve:
- Rear-end collisions
- Intersection wrecks
- T-bone crashes
- Head-on collisions
- Accidents involving semi-trucks
- Crashes with farm equipment
- Hit-and-run and uninsured driver accidents
These collisions can cause the worst injuries imaginable, including traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, and broken bones. A personal injury claim is the law's way of making you whole after such harm.
Can I Still Recover If I'm Partly at Fault?
Insurers regularly shift blame onto the injured driver. Not because it's true. But because it can reduce their financial exposure for the crash.
Under Nebraska's modified comparative negligence rule, you can still recover as long as your share of fault is less than that of the other parties. Your award will simply be reduced by your percentage of fault. If your damages total $100,000 and you're found 18% at fault, you could recover $82,000. At 50% or more, you are barred from recovering any compensation.
Our attorneys stand up to unfair blame games that aren’t grounded in the facts.
