How long do I have to file a personal injury claim?
Under Nebraska law, you have four years from the date of the incident to file a personal injury claim in civil court. While it's important to begin the process promptly, it's equally crucial to fully understand the extent of your injuries and damages before reaching a resolution.
How does a vehicle accident settlement work?
In some situations, vehicle accident claims can be resolved without going to court. Once a case is filed, Dyer Law will collaborate with you, the involved parties, and insurance companies to negotiate a fair settlement that fully compensates you for your injuries and damages.
What losses can I be compensated for?
Depending on the specifics of your injury, you may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and temporary or permanent disability. Insurance companies have teams of adjusters and attorneys working to protect their bottom line, which can put you at a disadvantage. Working with a trusted attorney helps ensure you’re fairly represented and receive the compensation you deserve.
How should I inform my employer if I’m injured?
If you’re injured on the job, report it to your supervisor or manager right away. You’ll then need to complete a workers’ compensation form to begin the claims process. Make sure to clearly explain what happened and provide the names of any witnesses to the incident.
How do I know if I have a personal injury case?
It’s not always easy to know if you have a strong personal injury claim, but most are based on negligence. To prove negligence, you must show that the other party owed you a duty of care, breached that duty, and caused you to suffer damages as a result. If you're unsure about your claim or need guidance, don’t hesitate to contact us—we’re ready to support you every step of the way!
