Last year, over 42,000 injury claims were filed in Nebraska. Many of these claims involved serious personal injuries that resulted in permanent disability. If you get hurt on the job, your employer is required to pay you workers' compensation benefits. If you are injured, it is very important that you protect your rights.
This begins from the moment the accident happens - at the scene as well as in the days immediately following. Consult with a personal injury attorney before you deal with an insurance adjuster. Personal injuries can result in serious permanent disability or wrongful death. Don't rely on an insurance company for information.

About
Report
I have been protecting the rights of injured victims for more than fifteen years. My legal experience has led me through numerous courtrooms across Nebraska - from Lincoln County District Court in North Platte, to Douglas County Court here in Omaha, to the Nebraska Workers' Compensation Court, and to both the Nebraska Court of Appeals and the Nebraska Supreme Court.
Workers Compensation
Report
Last year, over 42,000 injury claims were filed in Nebraska. Many of these claims involved serious personal injuries that resulted in permanent disability. If you get hurt on the job, your employer is required to pay you workers' compensation benefits. However, it is YOUR responsibility to show that you were working at the time of the injury or illness and that the injury or illness was caused by work.
What is Workers Comp
Report
The Workers' Compensation Act in Nebraska is designed to provide benefits to employees who sustain injury by accident or occupational disease arising out of and in the course of their employment, and who are not willfully negligent at the time of the injury. The Nebraska Workers' Compensation Act is the exclusive remedy for Nebraska employees, and the benefits available to you are set by law.
Appeals Process
Report
Sometimes, when you are pursuing a legitimate workers' compensation claim, the insurance company still denies your claim and you must go to court and have a judge hear your case. Denials can happen for many different reasons, but it is important to remember that it does not have to be the end of your claim.
Hiring an Attorney
Report
When you are injured in a work accident, it can be a scary and overwhelming time. You are feeling pressure from all angles: medical appointments, bills to pay at home, reporting requirements for your accident, and your employer or its insurance company is asking questions about what happened. When this happens, you need an experienced Omaha workers' compensation lawyer to represent you throughout the work injury process.
