Nebraska Car Accident Injury Lawyers for Omaha and Lincoln

Auto accidents can be life-changing, leaving you in serious pain, and out of work while you recover – not to mention the medical bills that flood your mail. We focus exclusively on auto accident law, nothing else. You may still be recovering from your injuries, or your doctors may not expect a full recovery. Whatever stage of your recovery, we’re available to help. Car insurance companies focus on reducing the amount they pay to resolve your case – it’s their job. They may even refuse to pay a dime or even return your calls or emails. There isn’t much we haven’t seen countless times before. The long-term impact of auto accident injuries can be severe. Emotional and physical injuries can take months or years to heal. The experienced and friendly attorneys at our firm will work hard to ensure you’re fully compensated for all you’ve endured. 

At Beck & Beck, everything is specifically designed to help auto accident victims get their lives back on track. We handle everything, you focus on your recovery. If the crash wasn’t your fault, you may be entitled to financial compensation for past and future medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. To ensure a full recovery, every avenue of compensation must be investigated. Often, auto accident cases have over five different possible insurance policies that need to be examined and evaluated to determine if you’re entitled to compensation from that policy. Luckily, you’ve come to the right place. For over 13 years, our law firm has focused exclusively on auto accident law… it’s all we do. So whether your accident happened in Lincoln, Omaha, North Platte, or anywhere else in the state, we have your back.

Will I Get to Work With an Attorney for My Case?

Deciding if you’re going to call an attorney can be a daunting decision. Many law firms won’t have an attorney to speak with when you call, so you’ll speak with a paralegal or an assistant while you wait hours or days for an attorney to return your call. When you call our office, you speak with either John or Paul Beck for a friendly and free conversation about your accident. John and Paul Beck have successfully resolved over 2,500 auto accident cases. There isn’t much we haven’t seen and handled countless times before. If you’re unable to get the medical treatment you need, we can help, even if you don’t have health insurance. You focus on getting better and let us handle the rest.

How Long Do I Have to File a Car Accident Claim in Nebraska?

Nebraska's civil statute of limitations allows victims four years to file a personal injury claim and only two years to file a wrongful death claim. This means you must file your claim or lawsuit within these time limits to seek compensation for your losses. If you wait beyond these deadlines, you may be unable to receive any compensation.
