Don't Talk to the Insurance Company Before Talking to Us

Insurance adjusters are trained professionals whose job is to pay you as little as possible. They may ask you to give a recorded statement, sign a medical authorization, or accept a quick settlement. All of these can seriously damage your case.

Before you speak with anyone from the insurance company, speak with us. We offer free consultations, and we can advise you on how to protect your rights from the very beginning.

Types of Motor Vehicle Accidents We Handle

Car Accidents

Rear-end collisions, T-bone crashes, head-on collisions, sideswipes, intersection accidents, and multi-vehicle pileups.

Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle riders face severe injuries because of their exposure. Drivers who fail to see motorcycles cause devastating crashes.

Commercial Truck Accidents

Semi-truck and 18-wheeler accidents often cause catastrophic injuries. These cases involve complex liability with trucking companies and their insurers.

Rideshare & Pedestrian Accidents

Uber/Lyft accidents and pedestrian collisions involve unique insurance issues. We navigate the complex coverage layers involved.

Hit-and-Run Accidents

If the at-fault driver fled, you may still recover compensation through your own uninsured motorist coverage. We help you navigate that process.

Drunk & Distracted Driving

Accidents caused by impaired or distracted drivers may entitle you to additional damages, including punitive damages in certain cases.

Common Motor Vehicle Accident Injuries

Motor vehicle accidents can cause a wide range of injuries, from soft tissue damage to life-altering trauma. We handle cases involving:

  • Whiplash and neck injuries
  • Herniated and bulging discs
  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
  • Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
  • Broken and fractured bones
  • Internal organ damage
  • Burns and scarring
  • Knee, shoulder, and joint injuries
  • PTSD and emotional distress
  • Wrongful death

Some injuries don't appear immediately after an accident. Adrenaline can mask pain, and some conditions—like soft tissue damage or traumatic brain injuries—may take days or weeks to become apparent. That's why it's critical to seek medical attention right away and consult an attorney before the insurance company pressures you into a quick settlement.

What to Do After a Motor Vehicle Accident in Nebraska

The steps you take immediately after an accident can significantly impact the value of your claim:

Step 1
Call 911

Report the accident and request medical assistance. A police report creates an official record of the incident.

Step 2
Seek Medical Attention

Even if you feel fine, get checked by a doctor. Some injuries have delayed symptoms, and medical records are critical evidence.

Step 3
Document Everything

Take photos of the scene, vehicle damage, your injuries, and road conditions. Get contact info from witnesses.

Step 4
Do NOT Give a Recorded Statement

The other driver's insurance company will call. Politely decline to give a recorded statement until you've spoken with an attorney.

Step 5
Call Johnson Tabor & Johnson

Contact us for a free consultation. The sooner we're involved, the better we can protect your rights and preserve evidence.

Insurance Company Tactics We See Every Day

Our senior partner spent over 40 years defending insurance companies. He knows their playbook inside and out. Here are the tactics they use to minimize your claim:

Quick Lowball Settlement Offers

They offer a fast check before you understand the full extent of your injuries. Once you accept, you can't go back for more.

Recorded Statements

They ask you to describe the accident on record, then use your words against you to argue you were at fault or not seriously hurt.

Broad Medical Authorizations

They ask you to sign a release giving them access to your entire medical history—then use unrelated conditions to undermine your claim.

Delay Tactics

They drag out the process hoping you'll get frustrated, run out of money, and accept less than your case is worth.

Surveillance

They may hire investigators to watch you or monitor your social media, looking for anything to contradict your injury claims.

We know these tactics because we used to deploy them. Now we use that knowledge to protect our clients and maximize their recovery.

Types of Compensation Available

If someone else's negligence caused your accident, you may be entitled to recover:

Medical Expenses

Past and future medical bills, surgeries, rehabilitation, physical therapy, and prescription medications.

Lost Wages & Earning Capacity

Income lost while recovering, plus future earning capacity if your injury limits your ability to work.

Pain & Suffering

Physical pain, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and mental anguish caused by the accident and your injuries.

Property Damage

Repair or replacement of your vehicle and any personal property damaged in the accident.

Nebraska Statute of Limitations

Frequently Asked Questions About Nebraska Car Accidents

Almost never without consulting an attorney first. Insurance companies make early offers before you know the full extent of your injuries. Once you accept a settlement, you cannot go back for more—even if your condition worsens. Let us review the offer and advise you on its fairness.

Nebraska follows a modified comparative fault rule. You can still recover damages as long as you were less than 50% at fault. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you were 20% at fault and your damages are $100,000, you could recover $80,000. Don't let the insurance company convince you that you have no case.

Nebraska requires drivers to carry liability insurance, but not everyone does. If the at-fault driver is uninsured or underinsured, you may be able to recover through your own uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage. We can review your policy and help you understand your options.

Nothing upfront. We handle all motor vehicle accident cases on a contingency fee basis. You pay no attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you. The initial consultation is always free.

Every case is different. Some settle within months; others require litigation and may take a year or more. The timeline depends on the severity of your injuries, the complexity of the case, and whether the insurance company is willing to offer a fair settlement. We'll give you an honest assessment during your free consultation.
