What Injuries Are Common in Car Accidents in Omaha, NE?
After a car accident in Omaha, common injuries include whiplash and other neck injuries, back injuries, head injuries, broken bones, internal injuries, and cuts and bruises. These injuries can be minor or serious, and some take months of treatment and therapy to heal.
Because of the higher speeds on interstates, highway crashes often involve more force than crashes on city streets. That extra force can make injuries more serious, lead to longer hospital stays, and slow your recovery, even when the vehicles do not look badly damaged.
Even if you feel fine at first, adrenaline can hide pain for hours or days after a crash, especially when you are shaken up and focused on dealing with the police and your vehicle. It is important to see a doctor right away and watch for signs such as headaches, stiffness, numbness, dizziness, or trouble sleeping in the days that follow, and tell your doctor about them.
Depending on the severity of your injuries, you may be able to recover compensation for medical bills, lost wages, reduced earning ability, pain and suffering, and vehicle damage. If your injuries require ongoing treatment, compensation may also cover future medical expenses, rehabilitation, and long-term care.
Under Nebraska law, you generally have four years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury lawsuit, which is longer than in many other states. If you miss this deadline, you may lose the right to seek compensation, even if your injuries turn out to be more serious than you first thought or need months of care.
If an insurance company questions your injuries or medical treatment, an
Omaha car accident lawyer can review your medical records, gather evidence to support your claim, and negotiate with the insurer on your behalf.
