Personal Injury Attorneys
Serving All Of Nebraska
After a car accident, insurance companies are supposed to help. They’re supposed to be there for you when you need them most. Too often, they’re more concerned with making a profit than helping you get your life back on track. This is especially true if you were injured in a serious car accident caused by another driver.
Free Case Consultation
The at-fault driver’s insurance company will likely try to save money by offering you a settlement that doesn’t cover the true costs of your car accident. They might even claim that’s their best offer. They might insist they can’t pay you a penny more.
That’s not right. You know you deserve more. You know you didn’t do anything wrong but how can you get the insurance company to take you seriously? How can you get the money you deserve? By getting the right car accident lawyer on your side.

Our lawyers will help you rebuild after your car accident
Some car accidents leave injuries that cause lasting damage. Victims are left with traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, amputations, burns and other catastrophic injuries. These injuries can have a profound and permanent impact on a person’s life.
Our Omaha car accident attorneys fight to hold the negligent parties responsible and to get victims the compensation they need. This includes compensation for past and future medical expenses, lost wages, emotional distress and pain and suffering.
When you hire a personal injury lawyer, you deserve personal attention. Our lawyers limits the number of cases we take. This allows us to spend more time on your car accident case. That way, we can focus on getting the maximum amount of compensation possible. We find this approach gets better results for our clients.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I have a personal injury case?
You may have a case if you’ve been injured due to someone else’s negligence. Negligence means that someone else had a duty of care for your safety, but failed to take appropriate measures to ensure it. Our personal injury lawyer can assess your situation and determine whether negligence played a role in your accident and injuries. We investigate the situation, looking for evidence that the other party failed to take proper care for your safety. Then, we advise you of your legal options, including filing a lawsuit for damages and negotiating an out-of-court settlement.
How much will it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer?
Each personal injury law firm establishes its own fee structure, so there is no one “right answer.” Our personal injury lawyers work on a contingency basis, meaning we only get paid on the contingency that we win your case. We believe everyone is entitled to high-quality legal representation, and a contingency fee arrangement is the best way to ensure this. Our legal fees are a percentage of your final settlement, which can vary depending on the expenses we incurred to litigate it. We will happily discuss our fee structure in your free initial consultation.
Do I need to go to court?
Not necessarily. Many personal injury cases can be settled out of court, which our personal injury lawyer strives to accomplish. Out-of-court negotiations usually take less time than a trial, saving you a lot of time and money. Because we assess legal fees as part of your final settlement, the more money we can help you save on litigation, the more money you’ll have when the case is resolved. However, your case may go to trial if a fair settlement cannot be reached. Usually, this occurs if the other party refuses to agree to a fair settlement or if we believe that punitive damages are in order. Punitive damages are awarded by a jury and aren’t part of a negotiated settlement.
What if I’m partially at fault for the car accident?
If you contributed less than 50% of the fault for the car accident, then you can still recover damages from the other driver. Nebraska is an at-fault state for car accidents, which means that the driver who caused the wreck is legally liable for the other party’s injuries. While you can recover compensation from the other driver, your settlement will be reduced by the percentage of fault you contributed. For example, if your total damages are $50,000, but a judge determines that you contributed 15% of the fault for the crash, then your final settlement will be reduced by 15%, netting you $42,500. As your car accident lawyer, our role is to prove that your contributory negligence was as low of a percentage as possible
Should I accept a car accident settlement offer from the insurance company?
If the other driver offers you a settlement for your losses, there’s a good chance it’s much lower than your claim is worth. Insurance companies don’t make money by handing over large settlements and will try to minimize your claim as much as possible if they can’t outright deny it. Consulting a car accident lawyer can help you understand the true value of your losses, including the non-economic ones like pain and suffering, so you can better assess a settlement offer. We recommend consulting with our car accident attorneys before agreeing to any settlement offer. Once you sign, you can’t go back for more money if the settlement didn’t cover all your damages.
