How Long You Have to File a Claim

In most cases in Nebraska, you have no more than four years from the date of injury to begin a court proceeding; however, this time frame can be as short as six months or a year. If the injury results in a wrongful death claim, you have no more than two years to begin a court proceeding. For a specific analysis on the time frame you have to file your claim, it is important to contact an attorney immediately. Depending on your particular case and whether the other driver was at fault, you may be able to recover for your property damage, your medical and hospital costs, your pain and suffering, your loss of wages and lost earnings capacity, along with other damages that may arise.

Automobile accidents are by far the majority of cases handled by Dyer Law office, and we have successfully represented the rights of many traffic injury victims. In many cases, claims are negotiated with insurance companies and are favorably settled by Dyer Law office, with the client’s approval and consent, without you having to go to court.

Remember that insurance companies have professional adjusters and attorneys working to represent their interests and to save the insurance company money. Make sure that you are not dealing with the insurance company at an unfair advantage.
