Omaha Car Accident Lawyer
A serious car accident upends everything at once — your health, your income, your family's routine — while an insurance adjuster you've never met starts building a file to pay you as little as possible. I've spent fifteen years representing car crash victims across Nebraska and Iowa, from rear-end collisions on Interstate 80 to intersection crashes on Dodge Street, and my approach is the same in every case: prepare it for trial, and make the insurer price it accordingly.
I handle rear-end and head-on collisions, intersection and left-turn crashes, distracted and impaired driving cases, uninsured and underinsured motorist claims, and crashes involving passengers and children.
What Your Claim Is Really Worth
Insurers make fast, low offers while you're still treating — before the full picture of your medical costs, lost wages, and future limitations exists. Accepting early almost always costs you money. The value of a Nebraska crash case is driven by the severity and permanence of your injuries, the clarity of liability, and the insurance available — including coverage layers people miss, like your own underinsured motorist policy. Several results below are policy-limits recoveries: every dollar that existed.
Nebraska Law You Should Know
Most Nebraska personal injury claims must be filed within four years (Neb. Rev. Stat. § 25-207), but evidence disappears far faster than deadlines run — vehicles are repaired, video is overwritten, witnesses move.
Nebraska's modified comparative negligence rule (Neb. Rev. Stat. § 25-21,185.09) reduces your recovery by your percentage of fault — and bars it entirely at 50%. Insurance adjusters use this rule aggressively, which is why pushing back on inflated fault allocations is central to how I litigate.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a car accident lawyer cost in Omaha?
Nothing up front. I handle car accident cases on a contingency fee — no attorney's fee unless I win your case — and the consultation is free.
What should I do in the first week after a crash?
Get medical care and follow through with treatment, photograph the vehicles and your injuries, report the crash to your own insurer, and do not give a recorded statement to the other driver's insurance company before speaking with a lawyer.
How long do I have to file a car accident claim in Nebraska?
Generally four years under Neb. Rev. Stat. § 25-207 — but some claims have shorter deadlines, and the evidence that wins cases disappears within weeks. Talk to a lawyer early.
