Medical liens represent legal claims that healthcare providers, insurers, and government programs can place on your personal injury settlement to recover costs for treating injuries from your accident. In Nebraska injury claims, these liens can significantly reduce the final amount you receive from a settlement or court award — making it critical to understand how they work, what Nebraska law requires, and what options you have for challenging or negotiating them before your case resolves. When you are injured in an accident, multiple parties may assert claims against your settlement. An attorney who understands…

If you have been injured in an accident caused by poor road conditions, the attorneys at Knowles…

When injuries from an accident require ongoing medical treatment, calculating future medical expenses becomes a critical factor in determining fair compensation. Nebraska courts follow specific legal standards and methodologies to project these costs, ensuring injury victims receive adequate funds for their long-term healthcare needs. Failing to properly document and present future medical costs is one of the most common reasons accident victims receive inadequate settlements — leaving them to pay thousands of dollars out of pocket in the years ahead. The attorneys at Knowles Law Firm understand how Nebraska courts evaluate future medical expenses…

When a traffic light malfunctions and a crash follows, liability rarely rests on a simple green light versus red light analysis. Nebraska law requires every driver approaching a dark, flashing, or conflicting signal to treat the intersection as a multi-way stop, and fault typically falls on whichever driver failed to follow that rule, drove too fast for the conditions, or ignored clear signs that the signal was not working. In some cases, liability can extend beyond the drivers involved to the government entity, contractor, or equipment manufacturer responsible for maintaining or installing the signal….
