What is a personal injury?
A personal injury can be any type of damage (physical, property or emotional) done to an individual. Your Omaha injury attorney can help you evaluate your personal injury if you aren’t sure what qualifies for a lawsuit.
What types of personal injury cases does your firm take?
We handle all types of personal injury cases, including, but not limited to:
How do contingency fees work?
When you agree to pay on a contingency basis, you are promising to pay your attorney a portion of your settlement if you win your case. If you lose, you will pay your attorney nothing.
Do I need an attorney or can I work directly with my insurance company?
You could go without a lawyer, but the insurance company will be working to keep the most money in their pockets. When you hire an Omaha personal injury lawyer, you are ensuring that someone who knows the law is working to get you the maximum settlement amount available.
What is a statute of limitations?
This is a law created to limit the amount of time a person can sue or press charges for a wrong done to them. These limits vary by the type of wrong-doing, so if you are concerned about the statute of limitations that may affect your case, please contact an experienced injury lawyer.
How does recklessness compare to negligence?
When someone performs something in a negligent manner, they usually have just made a mistake or overlooked something of importance. On the other hand, when someone is reckless, they are aware that they are acting in an inappropriate manner, but disregard the potential consequences of their actions. If a doggie daycare attendant put your pet in a pen with a variety of other dogs and a fight broke out, she may be reckless if she failed to pay attention and break up the fight. On the other hand, if she knew that she was watching a highly aggressive dog and put your dog in a pen with it regardless of the consequences, she would be acting reckless.
What is an assumption of risk?
When you do something you know to be dangerous, you have assumed the risks involved. Essentially, this means you cannot sure if you were injured by the action.
How is premise liability similar to product liability?
Whether you are buying a product or visiting a place of business, you are assuming the product or premise to be safe. By putting your trust in the hands of another, you are making that entity liable to you. If you were injured as a result, this means that person or company has become responsible for your injuries.
