Omaha personal injury attorneys here to offer you our ability and experience in personal injury law, and most importantly, our reputation. Our focus since founding in Omaha in 1967 has been and continues to be getting you the compensation you deserve. Personal injury legal claims affect Nebraska citizens on a daily basis. Under our laws, you are entitled to bring a claim against a person whose negligence or wrongful conduct led to your injuries. Every personal injury claim is unique, and the attorneys at Knowles Law Firm will be able to best handle your claim. They will explain the applicable laws, how they apply to your specific case, and answer any questions you may have concerning your rights and the legal process. Nebraska is a “comparative negligence” state. Essentially, that means that even if you are partially at fault for an accident, you are still able to bring an injury claim against the other party so long as you are deemed to be less than 50 percent at fault. In those instances, your damages are reduced by the percentage of negligence applicable to you. State laws also impose time limits for filing personal injury lawsuits. These laws are commonly referred to as the “Statute of Limitations” or the deadline by which a personal injury claim must be filed after an accident occurs. In Nebraska, the Statute of Limitations for most personal injury claims is four years from the date of the injury or accident.
