What to Do After Your Truck Accident Accident
The steps you take immediately following your injury can significantly affect your ability to recover compensation. First, seek medical attention — even if you believe your injuries are minor. Second, document everything: photograph the scene, collect witness contact information, and preserve any physical evidence. Third, report the incident to the appropriate authority (police, property owner, employer) and obtain a written report. Finally, do not give recorded statements to any insurance company before speaking with an attorney. Call Omaha Injury Law Group at (402) 555-0167 before talking to anyone else.
How Nebraska Injury Law Works
Nebraska follows a modified comparative negligence rule. This means you can recover compensation even if you were partially at fault for your injury — as long as your share of fault does not exceed 50%. However, your recovery will be reduced by your percentage of fault. Insurance companies routinely try to exaggerate your percentage of fault to reduce or eliminate their liability. Our attorneys aggressively counter these tactics to ensure your fair recovery.
What Compensation Can You Recover?
Nebraska injury victims are entitled to both economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages include: past and future medical bills, lost wages, loss of future earning capacity, property damage, and out-of-pocket expenses. Non-economic damages include: pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and loss of consortium. In cases involving particularly egregious conduct, Nebraska courts may also award punitive damages designed to punish the defendant.

Nebraska Statute of Limitations
Nebraska law generally gives injury victims four years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, some claims — including those against government entities and medical malpractice cases — have much shorter deadlines. Do not wait to contact an attorney. Call us today at (402) 555-0167.
