What Legal Challenges Arise When Filing a Multi-Vehicle Accident Claim in Nebraska?

Car accident claims can be complicated, even if it’s only for a single-car crash or a fender-bender. The legal process becomes even more intricate when multiple vehicles are involved. Fortunately, you don’t have to handle these complexities alone. With the help of the trusted lawyers at Knowles Law Firm, you can better understand your rights and what challenges to expect, including the following:

Determining Liability

In multi-vehicle accidents, liability is not always clear. We conduct a detailed investigation to gather evidence, such as police reports, medical records, cell phone records, surveillance footage, and witness and expert testimony, to determine whose negligence caused the accident. 

Comparative Negligence

In some cases, multiple parties caused the accident, including the injured victim. If this is true for you, you may still recover compensation due to Nebraska’s modified comparative negligence statute. With this system, each party involved receives a percentage of fault, which gets deducted from their respective damages. For example, if you are 20% responsible, and your claim is worth $250,000, you will receive $200,000. Those over 50% responsible cannot collect any damages.

We can help you determine if this system applies to your case, how it may impact your compensation, and the strategies needed to ensure you don’t receive an unfair fault percentage. Our lawyers at Knowles Law Firm understand the tactics insurance companies use in multi-vehicle accident claims to lowball you, so we fight tirelessly to build a strong case and advocate for maximum compensation.

Multiple Insurance Companies Involved

With multiple drivers involved in an accident, numerous insurance companies are also looking out for their interests and trying to minimize their liability. This can lead to unfair blame, unnecessary delays, and lowball offers that don’t reflect the full scope of your losses. We have handled countless complex cases like these, so you can trust us to deal with multiple insurance companies while you focus on recovery.

Conflicting Stories

Multi-vehicle accidents often happen quickly, and with more people involved, there may be conflicting stories about the details of the crash. This can make it challenging to understand the clear picture of the accident and who’s responsible. With the help of medical experts and accident reconstructionists, we can establish liability and understand the whole truth behind your injuries

Damage Assessment

If you were hit by multiple vehicles, it can be difficult to know which impact caused your specific injuries. We can assess all the details of your case to assign appropriate liability and ensure you receive fair compensation for your losses, including medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and loss of consortium.
