The five law firms below handle truck accident cases in Omaha; each listing gives the firm’s phone number and website, and where a listing names only the city or area, confirm the office address with the firm before a visit. Nebraska allows four years to sue a private trucking company but requires a written claim within one year against a city or county, so the questions after the listings explain both deadlines.

Frequently Asked Questions About Truck Accidents in Omaha, NE
How long do I have to sue after a truck crash in Nebraska?
Four years for an injury to the rights of the plaintiff not arising on contract and not otherwise listed, under Neb. Rev. Stat. 25-207. A wrongful death action is shorter: it must be commenced within two years after the death and brought by the personal representative, under Neb. Rev. Stat. 30-810.
What if a City of Omaha or county vehicle was involved?
Under the Political Subdivisions Tort Claims Act, Neb. Rev. Stat. 13-919(1), a claim against a political subdivision is forever barred unless it is made in writing to the governing body within one year after it accrued, and the lawsuit must be begun within two years after the claim accrued. The time to sue is extended for six months after the governing body mails notice of its final disposition of the claim, or after the claimant withdraws it.
Can I recover if I was partly at fault?
Only if your negligence was less than the total negligence of those you are suing. Under Neb. Rev. Stat. 25-21,185.09, contributory negligence reduces the damages proportionately, but a claimant whose negligence is equal to or greater than the total negligence of all persons against whom recovery is sought is totally barred.
Do all defendants pay the whole judgment?
Not entirely. Under Neb. Rev. Stat. 25-21,185.10, defendants acting in a common enterprise are jointly and severally liable for all damages; otherwise, liability for economic damages is joint and several, while liability for noneconomic damages is several only, in proportion to each defendant’s negligence.
What should be preserved after the crash?
The carrier name and USDOT number marked on the truck (49 CFR 390.21), photos, witness contacts and the crash report number. A motor carrier must keep its drivers’ records of duty status for at least six months under 49 CFR 395.8(k). A driver working under the short-haul exemption in 49 CFR 395.1(e) does not keep those records; the carrier must instead keep time records showing the driver’s hours for six months.
