How Does Comparative Fault Affect a Car Accident Claim in Omaha, NE?
Comparative fault can reduce the compensation available after a car accident in Omaha. Under Nebraska law, you may recover compensation if your share of fault is less than 50%, but your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault.
When fault is disputed, photos, video, roadway marks, and vehicle damage may help show how the crash happened. Insurers can use this information when deciding how much responsibility to assign to each driver. A traffic citation may matter, but it does not always determine civil fault.
Because each driver’s actions can affect the outcome of a claim, insurers may look closely at speed, right-of-way, lane position, and other details surrounding the crash. Even a small share of responsibility can reduce the amount you may recover.
Depending on your case, compensation may cover medical expenses, lost income, property damage, pain and suffering, and other losses caused by the crash. The amount you recover can still be reduced if you share responsibility.
In Nebraska, many personal injury lawsuits generally must be filed within four years. Waiting too long can leave you with less time to address disputed issues or prepare a lawsuit if insurance negotiations do not resolve your claim.
If the at-fault driver does not have enough insurance, your own coverage may become important. Depending on your policy, uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage may provide another source of recovery when your losses exceed the other driver’s available limits.
If there is a disagreement about who caused the crash, an
Omaha car accident lawyer can review the evidence and communicate with the insurance companies on your behalf.
