If you’re the victim of a car wreck, it’s essential to know your legal responsibilities and rights. An attorney can explain them to you. Immediately following a collision, it’s imperative to evaluate yourself for injuries, check on the other party, and seek emergency medical care. After you’ve done so, you’ll need to collect contact information from the other driver. You’ll need their name, address, phone number, driver’s license number, and auto insurance information to report the accident. After you’ve addressed your medical concerns, the state of Nebraska gives you ten days to file a car accident report with the proper authorities. You are legally required to report if someone was injured or killed or if more than $1,000 in property damage occurred. If you do not report it, you risk the suspension of your driver’s license.
To recover damages from your wreck, you have three options in Nebraska: 1) file a claim with your own insurance company, 2) file a third-party claim with the other driver’s insurance company, or 3) file a lawsuit. Keep in mind the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury or property damage lawsuit in Nebraska is four years. Your attorney will ensure you do not miss any critical deadlines.
If you choose to file a claim with an insurance company, you must provide them with information on the accident. They’ll assign an adjuster to your case, and it will be investigated. If they decide to offer you a settlement, be cautious about agreeing to the first number. If you feel as though you’re being offered less than you deserve, you can attempt to negotiate the settlement yourself or hire a car accident lawyer who can handle the negotiations for you.

I've try calling and emailing Chris for 2 weeks . I don't understand why a lawyer of all people can't call a possible big client . At first conversation was great but havnt talk since. Very disappointing. Wow

Chris helped me with my auto claim without even representing me. He gave me fair advice and did not just take my claim to get a payout. I would trust him with any claims in the future

I went to Welsh and Welsh for help with major damages from mesh surgery in my abdomen. They had me get information from the the hospital and when I emailed it, they didn't have enough respect to even call me back. Well I've since signed a retainer with a great firm in K.C. These people are only interested in an underhand pitch, a slam dunk that would require little to no work on their part. They're not your friends. Go elsewhere for help. Ke Spencer

A moderately good place to shoot video of a legal deposition. For the few others out there like me who shoot legal depositions, but never need legal services.
