How do I know if I have a valid personal injury claim?
There are two main elements of an injury claim: liability and damages. First, we need to determine whose actions caused the injury. On the surface, liability seems straight forward. However, insurance companies like to muddy the waters with terms like contributory negligence, comparative negligence, duty, and assumption of the risk. Insurance companies try to save money by claiming that your actions contributed to your injuries. In Nebraska, you need to show that the other person (or persons) had a duty to act in a certain way and that their failure to do so resulted in your injury. This is called modified contributory negligence.
E.x. As you are driving through a small town another driver runs a stop sign and strikes your car. As a driver on a public road, the other driver had a duty to yield to cars that have a right of way. If you were driving five miles over the speed limit, your violation of the traffic law “contributed” to the accident. However, a reasonable jury would agree that, when comparing the two actions, the action of running the stop sign contributed more to the accident than speeding. The equation changes if the speeding is egregious, causing a reasonable person to question whether the other party could see you.

Why is hiring a lawyer important for car insurance claims?
Hiring a lawyer is important because the insurance system is set up to delay and deny compensation for injured people. Insurance companies make money by denying claims and collecting interest on cash reserves until settlements or judgements are paid out. Beyond the benefits in section one, it is important to note that professional representation can lead to greater compensation and quicker recoveries.
-
When should I hire a personal injury attorney?
You should hire an injury attorney as soon as you find an attorney that you are comfortable with and that you believe will place you in the best position possible moving forward with your case. Since most injury cases are paid through a percentage of any judgment or settlement, hiring an attorney early on in the process allows you to have an advocate on your side without extra expense. Delays in hiring an attorney can cause additional stress, lower compensation, and extended recovery periods.
-
Should I hire a lawyer for my car accident claim?
Yes! If you were injured in a car accident, hiring a skilled attorney can result in a smoother process and more just outcome.
-
How and when should I contact a personal injury lawyer after an accident?
You should contact a trusted injury attorney right away. Insurance companies try to obtain recorded statements immediately after an accident to minimize their responsibility. Many injuries take time to diagnose and treat. A trusted attorney can help you to navigate the claim process while avoiding the insurance industry’s traps and pitfalls.
