Common Types of Personal Injury Cases

Each personal injury case is unique. We approach each one with compassion and a strategy tailored to suit the particular circumstances. Many personal injury cases fall into one or more of the categories below.

• Car accidents

These are amongst the most common types of personal injury claims in Nebraska. They occur when people are injured in accidents involving cars. These accidents may involve a single car or multiple vehicles. Common causes of car accidents in Nebraska include distracted driving, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, speeding, poor weather conditions and poor road conditions. Car accidents can result in injuries that range from minor scrapes and bruises to catastrophic injuries such as spinal injuries. They can even result in death.

• Truck accidents

Nebraska’s economy relies heavily on commercial trucks. These trucks traverse thousands of miles of highway across the state transporting a wide range of products. Truck accidents are therefore common in the state. Because of the size and weight of trucks, truck accidents often result in extensive property damage and serious injuries. These and many other factors make truck accident claims more complex than cases involving passenger vehicles.

• Motorcycle accidents

Riding on the highway with the wind rushing past and leaving your cares behind is something many people fantasize about. However, when motorcycle accidents occur they often have catastrophic results. Even a minor motorcycle collision can result in severe injuries because of the lack of protection to the motorcyclist’s body.

• Premise liability

Property owners in Nebraska are required by law to keep their premises safe. They can therefore be held liable for injuries that occur on their premises. This is especially when these injuries occur due to unsafe conditions on their properties such as wet surfaces, unmarked holes, poorly maintained staircases and more. Some of the most common types of cases under this category include slip and fall cases, assault, electrocutions, drowning and burns.

• Medical malpractice

Healthcare providers have a duty of care to their patients. When they fail to meet the accepted standards of care, the results can be devastating. Medical malpractice cases are complex. They often require expert testimony as well as a deep understanding of complex medical records. Personal injury attorneys have the resources to help victims recover the compensation they deserve.

• Workplace accidents

When a worker is injured while at work or while carrying out work-related tasks, they can claim workers’ compensation benefits to cover the cost of the resulting damages. Injured workers can also pursue third party claims if another party aside from their employer was responsible for the accident that resulted in their injuries.

• Wrongful death

Losing a loved one can be devastating. It is even more heartbreaking when the injuries that resulted in the death of your loved one were the result of the negligent or reckless actions of another party. The bereaved can claim compensation for their damages and get financial compensation for medical bills, funeral expenses and other damages.

Why It’s Important to Have a Personal Injury Lawyer

Navigating personal injury cases isn’t easy. If you attempt to navigate your claim on your own, you will be putting yourself at a serious disadvantage. Here’s why hiring an experienced personal injury attorney is critical.

• Protecting your rights

Insurance companies often try to settle quickly for far less than the victim deserves. An experienced attorney will work to ensure that your rights and best interests are fully protected from day one.

• Investigating your case thoroughly

In order to be successful at making a claim, you will need to provide evidence that supports your claim. Lawyers have the resources to collect evidence, interview witnesses, review police reports and consult with experts to build a strong case. They will also identify liable parties and pursue them for compensation.

• Maximizing compensation

An experienced attorney will have the resources and knowledge to determine the true value of your claim. They will consider factors such as medical costs, lost income, future expenses and non-economic damages like pain and suffering. They will also identify all possible options to pursue compensation and fight to maximize your compensation.

• Handling complex legal processes

Filing claims, negotiating settlements and if necessary going to trial involves strict deadlines and procedures. An experienced lawyer will manage all the legal details so you can focus on your recovery.
