When Is an Auto Repair Shop Liable for Injuries in Nebraska?

Auto repair shops are businesses that owe their customers a professional standard of work. This means they must only make necessary repairs, perform repairs the customer agreed to, make all repairs safely, and ensure the vehicle is safe. When they fail to meet these standards or neglect to fix an issue, vehicles can become dangerous to operate and increase drivers’ risks of an accident.

Some common forms of auto repair negligence include the following:

  • Failing to diagnose a problem another mechanic with similar experience and training would diagnose
  • Not performing the proper procedure to correct an issue
  • Installing the wrong part
  • Damaging other parts of the vehicle while making a repair
  • Failing to replace damaged parts

If you have suffered injuries due to a negligent mechanic or auto repair shop, you have the right to file a claim and pursue compensation for your losses. However, these claims can be complex, so it’s essential to have the help of the experienced auto accident lawyers at Knowles Law Firm. We conduct a thorough investigation to collect evidence, such as the repair receipt, insurance documents, warranties, and written communications, to prove the repair shop breached their duty of care and directly caused your injuries.

Potentially Recoverable Damages for Auto Repair Negligence in Omaha

Faulty repairs often result in even more damage than you went into the repair shop with, leaving you with more bills you shouldn’t have to pay. You may also have extensive medical bills after getting into an accident caused by a mechanic’s negligence. We understand the physical and emotional challenges of this situation and work hard to fight for the maximum compensation you deserve, which may include the following damages:

  • Past, present, and future medical bills
  • Lost wages from missed work
  • Loss of earning capacity
  • Repayment for initial repairs
  • Cost of additional repairs
  • Pain and suffering
  • Reduced quality of life

After suffering harm from auto repair negligence, knowing which damages resulted from the liable party’s actions can be challenging. With the help of the lawyers at Knowles Law Firm, you can better understand your claim’s value to prevent settling for a lowball offer that doesn’t recover the full scope of your losses.
