Three Hospitalized After Car Strikes Bridge Near Hickman, NE
Hickman, NE (October 10, 2026) – Three people were injured after a car struck a bridge on Panama Road, just east of South 38th Street, near Hickman on Saturday, October 10. The crash occurred around 2:30 a.m.
The
Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office reported that the car was traveling west on Panama Road when the driver lost control and struck the bridge.
All three occupants were transported to a hospital, including two with serious injuries. Deputies confirmed that everyone in the car was wearing a seat belt and that alcohol was not suspected as a factor.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
We hope everyone injured makes a full and steady recovery.
How Long Do I Have to File a Car Accident Claim in Hickman, NE?
In Hickman and throughout Nebraska, you generally have four years from the crash date to file a car accident injury lawsuit.
If you were under 21 when the crash occurred, Nebraska law generally gives you more time to file a personal injury lawsuit. In these cases, the four-year filing period typically begins when you turn 21.
To show what happened, keep crash photos, the crash report, and records of your medical treatment. These materials can help establish how the collision occurred, the injuries involved, and how those injuries affected your daily life.
While the claim is ongoing, your health insurance or available medical payments coverage may help pay treatment bills. The amount covered depends on your policy, and some expenses may remain unpaid while the claim moves forward.
Beyond medical bills, you may seek damages for income lost during recovery, pain and suffering, and future treatment expenses. The amount available depends on the extent of your injuries and how they affect your ability to work.
If the deadline passes, the court may dismiss a lawsuit filed too late. Even when injuries are serious and medical treatment is ongoing, missing the filing deadline can prevent you from recovering damages through a lawsuit.
If you are unsure how much time remains, a
car accident lawyer
can explain the filing period that applies to your circumstances. An attorney can also review the details of your crash and prepare the paperwork needed to bring your case.
