What about all the income you are going to lose because you have had to miss work. This is when you need a lawyer who can fight for your rights while you concentrate on physical and mental recovery.

You will want a lawyer who knows the law. In Nebraska, to legally hold a person accountable for your injuries and income loss as a result of an auto accident, the other driver must have either negligently acted, or negligently have failed to act. In Nebraska, drivers must maintain a proper lookout. If the other driver failed to maintain a proper lookout and the auto accident and your resulting injuries resulted, negligence may exist. Knowing how to properly establish negligence is an important step toward a successful recovery.

In Nebraska, your attorney must prove more than negligence. The law stipulates that the negligent act or omission must be the "legal cause" of your injuries. This means that the other driver's negligent act must have actually caused your injuries for a reason that the law recognizes. This is why it is imperative to have an experienced and skilled attorney who knows the law and knows how to investigate to properly establish that the other driver legally caused your injuries.

In Nebraska, the law also establishes a limited amount of time that you have to make a claim. This limited amount of time is usually four years under Nebraska law. This time period is otherwise known as the "statute of limitations." After this time period is passes, you are barred from ever making a claim under Nebraska law. Therefore, it is imperative that you contact a lawyer at Demerath Law today.
