Is an Attorney Necessary for Your Motorcycle Claim?
Riders often suffer catastrophic injuries and losses in motorcycle accidents. That doesn't mean insurance companies will be sympathetic. In fact, they will look for ways to minimize their liability and financial exposure. You need an attorney to look out for your interests and protect the full value of your claim.
To accomplish this, an Ogallala personal injury attorney can:
- Review collision reports and verify accident details to prove fault.
- Preserve vehicle data, scene photos, and physical evidence.
- Identify all available coverage, including your underinsured motorist coverage.
- Document long-term medical treatment needs and full economic harm.
- Negotiate medical liens directly so you retain a higher portion of settlement funds.
- Prepare your case for court if the insurance carrier refuses fair settlement terms.

Nebraska Motorcycle Laws and Your Rights
Under Nebraska law, motorcyclists have a full right to use their traffic lane. Neb. Rev. Stat. § 60-6,308 does prohibit lane splitting but gives riders complete lane flexibility. Drivers who encroach on a rider’s space are usually violating state law and may be negligent for any resulting collision.
State helmet laws also affect personal injury claims. Under Neb. Rev. Stat. § 60-6,279, riders 21 and older can ride without a helmet if they complete a safety course and wear eye protection. Riding legally without a helmet does not give an insurer cause to blame you for the accident.
Speak With an Ogallala Motorcycle Accident Lawyer
Under Nebraska law, you generally have four years from the crash date to initiate a personal injury lawsuit. Wrongful death actions carry a shorter two-year limit and proceed from the date of death. You shouldn’t wait to take legal action.
