Types of Personal Injury Accidents We Represent

Injuries can happen in almost any setting at any time. At Berry Law, we’ve represented personal injury victims since our firm’s establishment in 1965. Since our firm’s founding, we’ve taken on cases for a number of different accident types and recovered compensation for countless clients.

Throughout the years, our attorneys have gained experience working on almost every type of accident case you could think of. You can rest assured that a Nebraska or Iowa personal injury attorney from our firm has what it takes to help you recuperate from any of the following incidents:

Car Accident

Pursuing compensation after a car accident comes with several challenges that only an experienced attorney can overcome. If you’ve been hurt in a collision, our team can work with accident reconstructionists to learn more about the factors that caused the accident.

Your attorney will also collect evidence and use it to prove that the other driver was at fault. Once your lawyer has gathered the evidence they need to file a winning claim, they’ll do so and proceed by meeting with the other driver’s insurance company to negotiate a settlement.

If your claim is successful, you could receive compensation for many different losses, including your medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Truck Accident

While truck accident cases can be similar to car accident cases, there are several key differences that require the assistance of a skilled attorney. One of the most important distinctions between car and truck crashes is that there are many individuals and entities who can be held liable for a truck accident.

A personal injury lawyer from our teams in Iowa and Nebraska can collect evidence and analyze their findings to determine which of the following parties should be held responsible for your truck accident injuries and losses:

The truck driver
The trucking company
The cargo loaders
A maintenance provider
A local municipality
Another driver

As you can see, there are many individuals and companies who could be held liable for a truck crash. Fortunately, our attorneys are here to find out who is at fault and hold them liable for your injuries and accident-related losses.

Slip and Fall

If you’ve slipped or tripped and sustained an injury on someone else’s property, you may have grounds for a slip and fall claim. Getting help from a seasoned personal injury attorney from Iowa or Nebraska is essential after a bad fall-down accident, as such incidents can cause a variety of serious injuries, including:

Spinal cord injuries
Back and neck injuries
Traumatic brain injuries
Hip, Knee, Ankle, Elbow, and Wrist fractures or sprains
Tendon or ligament tears
Concussions
Soft tissue injuries

If you’ve suffered one of the injuries listed above in a slip and fall accident, the attorneys at Berry Law may be able to build a strong insurance claim or civil suit on your behalf. They’ll work hard to get the money you need to treat your injuries and get back to your regular life.

Additional Accidents

The accidents listed above are only a few of the situations we can help you pursue images for. You can turn to our Iowa and Nebraska personal injury attorneys for effective legal advice and representation after any of the following incidents:

Don’t Wait to Get in Touch With a Lawyer from Berry Law

When you’re pursuing compensation for a car crash, fall-down incident, or another type of accident, time is of the essence. That’s because all personal injury plaintiffs must comply with Nebraska’s statute of limitations. Under Nebraska Revised Statutes § 25-207, you generally have four years from the date of your accident to submit a civil suit against the at-fault party. However, there may be deadlines as short as 1 year if you have been injured by a government actor, in a medical setting, or under other special circumstances. In Iowa, under §614.1, you generally have two years.

Failure to abide by the state’s filing deadline could prevent you from getting the compensation you need to make a full financial and physical recovery. Reach out to our personal injury attorneys from Nebraska and Iowa today so they have enough time to get your suit filed before the state’s strict deadlines.
