Lincoln, NE (October 1, 2026) – A 35-year-old man was hurt after he was reportedly struck by a vehicle near R Street in Lincoln on Wednesday, September 30. The crash was reported at about 3:27 p.m.

We wish the injured man a smooth and steady recovery.
How Long Do I Have to File a Car Accident Claim in Lincoln, NE?
In Lincoln and throughout Nebraska, you generally have four years from the date of a car accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. Missing that deadline can prevent you from bringing the claim to court.
When the injured person is a child, the filing period may be paused or changed under Nebraska law. Claims involving a city, county, or another public body may also require a written claim within a much shorter period.
If the filing deadline passes, a court will usually dismiss a lawsuit filed too late. Insurers may also have less reason to negotiate once the time available to bring a legal action has expired.
Compensation may include medical expenses, lost income, reduced earning ability, future treatment costs, and pain and suffering. The amount available depends on the losses caused by the accident and how they affect your life.
As the claim moves forward, police reports, photographs, and witness accounts may help show how the crash happened. These materials can clarify vehicle movements and other facts that may matter when responsibility is disputed.
While Nebraska allows recovery when you share some fault, your compensation is reduced by your percentage of responsibility. If you are equally or more at fault than the other party, you cannot recover damages.
Because filing deadlines can be difficult to track, a
car accident lawyer can review the crash date, identify the deadline that applies, and determine whether an exception changes the time available. An attorney can also prepare and file a lawsuit on time.
