What Our Clients Are Saying About Us
Anthony Mammina
AVVO 
Didn’t know working with a lawyer could be this refreshing. I can’t say enough great things about Berry Law in Lincoln, NE. Our experience was so different than what we had expected in working with a lawyer. Carey took the necessary time to affirm and explain how we were justified in our situation. He defended us and encouraged us every step of the way. He was an excellent communicator and very easy to work with. We would give more than five stars if possible.
Steven R Booth
AVVO A+ WORK. I am beyond grateful for the support I received from Barry Law. From the very first moment, they truly stood by my side and handled everything with such care and professionalism. It wasn’t just about legal expertise—though that was top-notch—it was the genuine compassion they showed. Whenever I felt overwhelmed or anxious, they were always there to calm my nerves and reassure me. It’s rare to find a lawyer who not only fights for you but also makes you feel understood and cared for throughout the process. I can honestly say that choosing Barry Law was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made, and if I ever need legal help again, they will absolutely be my first choice. They truly go above and beyond, and I am so thankful for everything they did for me.

Facebook I had a wonderful experience working with Carey Collingham at Berry Law for 2 personal injury claims! He made me feel supported and heard. Carey listened to my experiences, thoroughly guided me through my options, and always had a clear plan of action. Carey is very personable and professional. I felt that he truly cared about my claims and my well-being. Having a personal injury can make you feel out of control, but Carey made me confident that he would take care of the claims which made me feel less overwhelmed. I could not recommend Carey enough! He fought hard to ensure that I received the compensation I deserved, and I could not be happier about the outcomes of my claims!

Nebraska Dog Bite Laws Impose Strict Liability to Protect Victims
Under Nebraska Revised Statute § 54-601, dog owners are strictly liable for injuries caused by their dogs. This means that if you were attacked while in a public space or legally on private property, the dog’s owner is most likely responsible for your injuries—even if the dog had never shown signs of aggression before.
Exceptions to this rule include instances where the injured person provoked the dog or was trespassing. A Nebraska dog bite lawyer can help you determine if your situation qualifies for compensation under this statute.

What to Do After a Dog Bite
Seek Medical Care
Your first priority after a dog bite is getting medical attention. Even minor wounds can lead to infection or scarring. Depending on the severity of your injuries, you may require stitches, rabies treatment, or even cosmetic surgery. Always document your treatment and follow up with a healthcare provider.
Gather Evidence
If you’re able, gather the dog owner’s information, take photos of your injuries, and collect witness contact details. Before speaking with an insurance company, it’s wise to consult with an attorney. Insurers may pressure you into a low settlement that doesn’t reflect the full extent of your losses.
