Personal Injury FAQs
How do your fees work?
We work on a contingency fee—you pay no attorney’s fee unless we recover money for you. We advance the costs of investigating and litigating your case and are reimbursed from the recovery.
Do I need a lawyer if the insurance company already made an offer?
Early offers are often far below the real value of your claim. Talk to us first in a free consultation. We’ll review the offer and the evidence so you can make an informed decision.
What if I might be partially at fault?
Nebraska uses modified comparative negligence with a 50% bar, meaning you can usually recover if you’re less than 50% at fault, though your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault. Don’t guess—let us evaluate how fault might be assigned in your case.
How long do I have to file a claim in Nebraska?
Deadlines vary by case type—some are as short as two years, others longer. Many Nebraska personal injury cases have a four-year deadline (there are exceptions like wrongful death, claims against government entities, and more). Don’t wait; missing a deadline can end your case. Call us promptly so we can protect your rights.
How long will my case take?
Simple claims can resolve in a few months, but complex or catastrophic cases may take longer, especially if litigation or trial is required. We move quickly, but we won’t recommend settling for less than your case is worth.
Should I talk to the other driver’s insurance?
No. Refer all calls to your lawyer. Adjusters may try to use your words against you. We handle all communications so you don’t have to.
Who pays my medical bills while my case is pending?
Depending on your situation, health insurance, MedPay, workers’ comp, or letters of protection may apply. We coordinate benefits and address liens to maximize your net recovery.
What is my case worth?
Case value depends on liability, injuries, medical care and prognosis, lost income, and how the injury impacts your life. We can gather medical and expert evidence to prove every dollar you’re owed.
