About Demerath Law Office

I am Larry Demerath, a Nebraska native, a veteran and a Nebraska farmer. For over 50 years I have represented families in motor vehicle cases, and fatal car accident cases are where my experience counts most.

I have recovered more than $50 million for clients in Nebraska courtrooms, including $1,062,500 in a wrongful death case, $1,025,000 for a passenger killed in a crash and $670,000 after an I-80 crash that killed two children.

I earned my law degree at the University of Nebraska College of Law and I am admitted to the Nebraska State Bar, the federal district court, the 8th Circuit and the U.S. Supreme Court. I handle your case myself, by phone, with no travel and no waiting room. You pay nothing unless I win.

How I help families who lost someone

When a crash takes someone you love, you should not have to fight an insurance company alone. I guide your family through the legal process, protect your rights and pursue the compensation Nebraska law allows.

  • Investigate the crash, gather evidence and identify key witnesses
  • Uncover every insurance policy that may apply
  • Deal with the insurance companies so your family does not have to
  • File a Nebraska wrongful death claim on your family's behalf
  • Explain the deadlines that apply to your claim
  • Seek compensation for funeral and medical expenses, lost income and lost support
  • Take your case to trial if the insurance company will not pay a fair amount
  • Answer your questions by phone in plain language
  • Handle everything on a contingency fee, so you pay nothing unless I win
