Not every accident requires an attorney. However, if the accident resulted in injuries or significant property damage, it is a good idea to contact a lawyer. An experienced personal injury attorney can help you navigate the claims process, which can be lengthy and complex.
Your attorney will build your case, keep track of your medical records, negotiate with insurance companies, and represent you in court if necessary. Studies have shown that accident victims who hire a personal injury lawyer can receive settlements up to 3.5 times larger than if they settled on their own.
The best way to know if you have a case is to speak with an attorney. The Advocates offer free consultations—you can speak with a qualified legal team to understand what your case is worth without paying a dime. Once you have decided to hire an Advocate, we will investigate your accident to firmly establish liability.
Every personal injury case is different. There is no one-size-fits-all solution to accident claims. The length of the claims process will depend on the severity of your injuries, the willingness of the other party to settle, the court’s caseload, and more.
In general, personal injury cases can take anywhere from several months to a few years. It’s important to contact an attorney as soon as possible to get your case started. Each state has a statute of limitations for personal injury cases, after which you will lose your right of action.
When you hire The Advocates, we will begin investigating your accident immediately while you finish medical treatment. Once all evidence and medical records have been compiled, your attorney will send a demand letter to the other party’s insurance company. At this point, negotiations will begin.
In many cases, a settlement can be reached during negotiations. If the other party refuses to make a fair offer, you may choose to file a suit. In the litigation phase, your attorney will represent you in court in front of a judge, jury, and/or arbitrator.
For nearly 30 years, The Advocates have helped thousands of personal injury victims receive the compensation and care they deserve after their accidents, and we are prepared to do the same for you.

I was in an accident 3 years ago and had a very bad experience with the attorney back then I was in another accident last year and called the advocates mark and his team were amazing changed my view on accident attorneys they kept I'm touch with me every step of the way gave me authority on choices for myself I didn't have to go with what they said I could go against it and they still would have worked with me the same I had choices this time around I would always go with Mark I have even sent friends his way just cause I appreciate all the help and support the whole way threw.
My experience with the advocates was a good one. After being hit by a car on my motorcycle they helped me with a settlement with the insurance company to get the hospital bills paid. They were extremely helpful. They always answered any questions I had with in a day. Every email I sent was always responded to. If you unfortunately has to go through a injury by another person I would recommend them in helping you resolve any debt you have because if that injury. The Advocates were great to work with and help me get this unfortunate event behind me.
Steve and his crew at The Advocates were nothing short for amazing. They took my case after I was rear-ended resulting in neck surgery. Steve and company made sure all of the was taken care of and that I got the maximum compensation possible. I definitely recommend The Advocates
Mr. Brad Johnson, our lawyer; was Awesome! He was very informative, kept us up to date on my case with regular calls. He returned calls back to us within 24 hours or less. Brad Johnson is very courteous, honest, kind, and a pleasure to talk to and work with. There are very few Lawyers out there that could even come close to the high morals that Brad Johnson has and has shown towards us. We need more lawyers like Brad Johnson . If we ever needed a disability lawyer again in the future; it would be Brad Johnson and The Advocates Firm that he works at. We will definitely turn ALL of our family and friends towards this lawyer and firm; in a heartbeat!!!

Depending on the nature of your accident and the protective gear you were wearing at the time, motorcycle crashes can lead to catastrophic injuries or even fatalities. Some common injuries after motorcycle accidents include:
Immediately after the crash, move out of traffic if possible. Check yourself and any passengers for injuries. If anyone has severe injuries, call 911.
Most insurance companies will require a police report before approving any claims. Ask for an officer to come to the scene and file a report.
When speaking to the officer, give the facts of the accident without accepting blame or speculating on the causes of the accident. An investigation may later prove that you were not at fault, but if you accept responsibility, an investigation may never be conducted.
Do not speak to insurance adjusters or anyone else about your accident without first speaking to your attorney.
Get the contact and insurance information of the other motorist. Do not apologize to them for the accident, as this may be taken as an admission of fault.
Stay calm and friendly and gather the following information:
Additionally, talk to any witnesses to the accident. Get their names and phone numbers. Their accounts of what happened may help when building your case later.
Take photos and videos of the scene. Get pictures of your bike and the other vehicle from all angles. Be sure to also get pictures of your injuries, weather and road conditions, and any marks on the pavement.
If you do not receive medical care at the scene of the accident, you should still see a medical professional as soon as possible afterward. You may have hidden injuries that you don’t know about.
If you plan to file a personal injury claim, you will need to provide proof of the medical treatment you have received. Keep track of all your medical records.
Contact your own auto insurance company and inform them that you were in an accident. You may have no-fault insurance that can help cover medical bills while you wait for your case to settle.
If you plan to file a motorcycle accident claim, you will need to prove negligence on the part of the defendant. An experienced injury attorney can help you demonstrate that the at-fault driver caused your injuries and that you have suffered damages as a result.
In general, the statute of limitations for motorcycle accidents in Nebraska is four years. An attorney can determine exactly how long you have and help you avoid missing this crucial deadline.
