You may ask yourself if it is worth hiring a lawyer to represent you in your personal injury case. While it is not a legal requirement to have one, especially in cases that involve serious injury and expensive bills, it is in your best interest to consult with a personal injury attorney before filing a claim. They will initially assess and evaluate the strength of your case, and advise you on how best to proceed. If your case is valid, they will then gather and preserve evidence, as well as consult with third-party experts, all to build and reinforce your claim. They will also keep track of filing deadlines and procedures so that nothing is missed due to a technical mistake. Most commonly, your lawyer will negotiate a fair settlement with the liable party’s insurance, but if it ends up going to court, they will argue on your behalf. Unless you are willing and able to do all of these things on your own, it is a good idea to enlist the help of a personal injury attorney, like the ones at Metier Law Firm.
After an accident that results in injury, most people are likely to be focused on their health and recovery, and they should be. Getting well again should be your top priority, however, there are a few things you can do after the incident itself that will greatly increase the chances of success for a personal injury claim later on. The best things you can do after an accident are to:
Personal injuries can occur in many different places and in many different ways, but any time an individual is harmed by the negligence of another, a claim for compensation can be made. To do so, the victim must prove that negligence, which is often not as easy as it may seem. That is why you should contact our team of personal injury lawyers at Metier Law Firm. They know Nebraska law in and out, with over 35 years of helping victims of accidents and their families.
The dedicated attorneys in our Omaha office are ready to fight for the victims of injuries resulting from a wide range of accidents, including:
In the state of Nebraska, a victim has 4 years to file a personal injury claim. This is commonly referred to as the statute of limitations, and it varies from state to state. Basically, it means that 4 years to the day after your injuries occurred, you lose the legal right to file a claim in court for restitution. Because of this time limit, it is best for you to contact a Nebraska personal injury lawyer as soon as you can after an accident.
When it comes to compensation for a personal injury, a victim can file a claim for a variety of related expenses, but they all fall into two broader categories. Special damages are things that you can easily calculate, like the cost of an ambulance ride. General damages are harder to determine because they attempt to put a number on a person's emotional and mental losses, like emotional distress.

Reduced Income
