Nebraska Lawsuit Loans and Pre-settlement Funding

Nebraska is popular for its stunning population of honeybees and famous state motto; Equality Before The Law. The state of Nebraska is located in the Great Plains on the Midwest of the USA, and the state capital is Lincoln, with the largest city right on the Missouri River, Omaha. 

Nebraska is a huge agriculture producer bringing other important economic advantages to the United States such as manufacturing, fright, and IT.

Nebraska has some incredible landmarks such as Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium, Joslyn Art Museum, The Durham Museum, Scotts Bluff National Monument, Agate Fossil Beds National Monument, Carhenge, Eugene T. Mahoney State Park, and more.

As many beauty and economic benefits, Nebraska brings, slip and falls and other personal injuries often happen in the state. According to the Nebraska government, deaths due to injury made up 6% of all deaths to Nebraskans. In Nebraska, a personal injury is the second leading cause of years of potential life lost after malignant neoplasm (cancer). People who were over 65 suffered more deaths due to slip and falls. See the Nebraska government document here.

Legal battles in the state can be costly and can drag on for a very long time. In addition to daunting litigations, both plaintiffs and attorneys in Nebraska face mountains of bills to settle — including rent, groceries, health emergencies, and other daily expenses. 

How does the insurance work in Nebraska(NE)?

Like most states in the United States, Nebraska also follows the modified comparative fault rule. If you are reading about this for the first time, don’t worry, we will break it down for you.

The comparative fault rule means that the plaintiff can only get compensation for an injury if the court finds him or her to be less than 50% at fault. You won’t be eligible to file for compensation if you are more than 50% at fault for an accident. Nebraska has a cap set at $1.75 million for medical malpractice cases, including economic and non-economic damages. Monetary damages in personal injury cases often include loss of income and medical expenses. In contrast, non-economic damages are mostly the pain and suffering as a result of the injury.

When you drive on the road in Nebraska, you will get the farmer wave, as people are amicable in Nebraska.

Unfortunately, reports on traffic fatalities between 2016 and 2017 revealed that the number of traffic fatalities (deaths) increased — with 228 deaths from 210 crashes in 2017, placing Nebraska’s traffic fatalities rate at 11.9 per 100,000 of the population.

Also, in 2017, 80% of the traffic fatalities were attributed to drunk driving, while not wearing a seatbelt takes up to 60%. So, it would be best if you always kept an eye out for reckless drivers whenever you are out on the road.

In Nebraska, cases of car accidents are decided using the “fault” system. This means that the at-fault driver is liable for the damages caused to the other driver or passengers.

Baker Street Legal Funding provides drivers, car occupants, and pedestrians with instant financial assistance to cater to medical expenses and other expenses pending when their cases will be settled.

Nebraska has a time limit within which plaintiffs are expected to file their claims. This time limit is known as the statute of limitations, and it’s intended to ensure a transparent legal system.

Depending on your case’s nature, and when you discovered that somebody’s negligence caused your injury, there are varying time limits within which you should file your claim.

In addition to ensuring transparency, the statute of limitations helps maintain evidence and witness testimony integrity.

Here is the statute of limitations for some civil actions in Nebraska.

•Injury to person — 4 years

•Assault and battery — 1 year

•Libel/slander. — 1 year

•Fraud — 4 years

•Injury to personal property — 4 years

•Trespass — 4 years

•Professional malpractice — 2 years (and one year after discovery).

•Contracts and judgments — 5 years each.

•Collection of debts — 4 years

•Wrongful death — 2 years

Considering that some cases have shorter time limits than others and plaintiffs stand to lose any chance of getting compensation if they miss this statutory time limit. It will help if you don’t let the clock tick against you before you file your claims.

You should always consult your attorney and ensure that you provide him or her with accurate information to help him/her build a strong case.
