Claims for Slip and Fall Accidents

Slip and fall accidents can result in surprisingly severe injuries. Typical injuries sustained in slips and fall include:

• Broken bones
• Sprained ligaments or tendons
• Traumatic brain injuries
• Spinal cord injuries
• Separated joints

A claim for a slip and fall injury can demand compensation for the costs involved in treating these injuries. However, a comprehensive claim should take the full impact of the incident into account. If a plaintiff was forced to miss time at work because of the injury or is now suffering from mental anguish, they may demand payment for these losses as well. An Omaha slip and fall attorney could help gather evidence concerning the accident to prove liability.

Statute of Limitations

Bringing a claim within a timely manner is important. There is a law in Nebraska known as the statute of limitations that controls when a court can hear a case. Under Nebraska Revised Statute §25-207, plaintiffs have only four years from the date of the injury to pursue a claim. If they fail to pursue a case within that time, they may be barred from any recovery.

An Omaha Slip and Fall Attorney Can Be an Advocate

Property owners in Nebraska must protect all invited visitors who come onto their land.

If a person is injured after falling on another’s land, he or she has the right to demand compensation.
