Nebraska Auto Accidents Attorneys
Motor vehicle accidents involving cars, motorcycles, SUVs, pickup trucks, 18-wheelers, boats, jet skis, ATVs and RVs can be physically, emotionally and financially traumatizing. The quality of your life after an accident can depend on how full your financial recovery is from the insurance company of the person who caused your injury.
Do Not Settle For Anything Less Than What You Are Owed
Many people who are seriously injured don't receive the full compensation they deserve, simply because they do not understand how to deal with insurance companies. At the law firm of Sibbernsen & Strigenz in Omaha, our lawyers will sit down and listen to your story, review the police reports and your medical charts, and we will take the time to make sure that you are financially compensated for such losses as:
- Chiropractic bills
- Hospital bills
- Lost wages
- Medication/pharmacy expenses
- Future medical expenses
- Emotional damages
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of consortium/companionship
At the law firm of Sibbernsen & Strigenz in Omaha, our experienced attorneys handle all types of auto accident injury claims, including those involving drunk drivers, wrongful death, uninsured or underinsured drivers, and injuries to passengers.

How Do I Get My Medical Bills Paid?
Nebraska has a fault-based auto insurance system. This means that if you are injured by another person's negligence, you have a right to file a claim against their insurance company for damages such as medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Until you make a recovery, you will need to find another way to pay for your treatment. Your options may include group health coverage through your employer, private health insurance, your auto insurance medical payments coverage, Medicare or Medicaid. If you have no medical insurance, some providers will be willing to provide your care in exchange for placing a lien on your lawsuit recovery.
Some insurance plans will expect to be repaid dollar-for-dollar after you make your recovery. Others are willing to negotiate, leaving more dollars in your pocket. Our lawyers will advise you in the most advantageous way to pay for your medical treatment and represent you in all negotiations.
What About Damage to My Vehicle?
The insurance company of the at-fault driver should pay for damage to your vehicle. If our lawyers handle your personal injury case for you, we will also handle your property damage claim free of charge. We handle all personal injury claims on a contingency fee basis, which means there are no fees unless we obtain a recovery on your behalf.
