Is Attorney Representation Needed in Premises Liability Claims
Insurance companies routinely attempt to devalue or deny property injury claims. They may argue the danger was obvious or claim your injuries were pre-existing. Your legal team won’t let unfounded claims undermine your compensation rights.
To protect your interests, your attorneys will:
- Walk the property in person and capture photos and video of the dangerous condition before the owner has a chance to repair it.
- Figure out who owns/manages the property, since more than one party may share responsibility for your injury.
- Demand copies of incident reports, security camera footage, and inspection logs that show what the owner knew and when.
- Pull together your treatment history and medical records.
- Work to reduce the medical liens attached to your case.
- Handle negotiations and take your case to court if necessary.

How Nebraska Law Treats Property Injury Claims
Under state law, property possessors owe a duty of reasonable care to all lawful visitors. It doesn’t matter whether you were on a property for business or personal reasons; an owner is liable for your injury if they knew or should have known about a danger and failed to remedy it.
Special rules apply to certain recreational areas. Nebraska’s Recreation Liability Act provides limited protections to landowners who allow free public access for recreational purposes. However, these protections do not apply if the owner charges entry fees or willfully ignores known dangers. An attorney can evaluate how these statutes impact your recovery rights.
What Does a Premises Liability Lawyer Cost?
Premises liability attorneys typically take cases on a contingency fee arrangement. Injured clients pay no upfront costs, and the attorney collects a fee only if the case results in compensation. That fee is usually a percentage of the final settlement or verdict, agreed to in writing before the case begins. This setup gives anyone with a valid claim access to legal representation, regardless of their financial situation.
