How an Attorney Levels the Field Against the Insurance Company
The insurer has adjusters, investigators, and defense lawyers. Without an attorney, you have no one. That math may not work out in your favor. But a personal injury lawyer changes the entire equation.
Your legal team will take over your claim and:
- Investigate the crash and identify every responsible party.
- Gather vehicle data and, in truck crashes, driver logs and maintenance records.
- Secure medical records that show the full extent of your injuries.
- Consult experts in medicine, finance, and accident reconstruction.
- Track your lost wages and future earning losses.
- Negotiate for a fair settlement and prepare your case for trial if needed.
Don’t wait to take action. Talk to our attorneys today about how we can help.
Rules of the Road Every Nebraska Rider Should Know
Several Nebraska traffic laws can play a central role in a motorcycle injury claim. These include:
- Motorcycles are entitled to full use of a lane, and drivers may not crowd them out.
- All riders must use eye protection unless their bike has a windshield.
- Riders 21 and older may go without a helmet only if they've completed an approved safety course.
When a driver ignores a rider's right to the lane, that can provide evidence of negligence. Insurers may try to use helmet rules against you; following the law protects your claim.
Serious Injuries Riders Face After a York Crash
With nothing between them and the pavement, motorcyclists often suffer devastating injuries from two impacts: the strike from the vehicle and the collision with the ground. Even if a driver only faces an impact from the ground, they can suffer:
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Spinal fractures and paralysis
- Broken ribs and collarbones
- Shoulder and knee injuries
- Road rash and degloving injuries
- Facial fractures
These injuries generally support a motorcycle accident claim that can help you recover the money you need to move forward.
