NEBRASKA SLIP AND FALL LAWYERS
When you suffer an injury after falling on someone else’s property, our Nebraska slip and fall lawyers are ready to help with your case. You deserve a financial settlement that reimburses you for your medical bills, lost wages, pain, and suffering. You should not have to pay the bills associated with your injuries because someone else behaved negligently.
Our team understands the frustration and worry you and your family may have after suffering an injury in a fall. You may be unable to work, leaving your family with financial concerns beyond your mounting medical bills. At Strong Law, our slip and fall lawyers will always have your best interests in mind. We will stand by your side from the start of the case until we reach a satisfactory conclusion for you.
Injuries From Falls Can Be Life Changing
Some people are able to walk away from a fall with nothing more that a little embarrassment. However, others aren’t so lucky. Falls can involve concussions, facial trauma, broken bones, and spinal cord injuries. When someone else’s negligence led to these types of injuries, you deserve compensation.
Perhaps the property owner knew about a slick, wet spot on the floor and failed to clean it up in a timely manner. Maybe a broken railing on a stairway has been that way for months, and you were unlucky enough to fall through it. Regardless of the negligent act that’s behind your slip and fall accident, our team is ready to help. Call Strong Law today at 206-737-3496 for a free review of your case by our slip and fall attorneys in Nebraska.

Our Slip and Fall Lawyers Know How Insurance Companies Work
Our personal injury lawyers have a detailed understanding of how insurance companies operate in cases like this. Before the founding of Strong Law in 2016, some of our slip and fall injury attorneys worked in the insurance industry. We know how to turn their techniques against them, helping us have success in negotiations.
The insurance adjuster handling your case may act as if he or she is helping you. Remember, though, the adjuster works for the insurance company, not for you. For the best potential result, having someone on your side is extremely important.
Our slip and fall law firm is ready to begin working on your case as soon as you choose to hire us. Our strategy gains results for our clients. Our team has won multiple seven-figure settlements over the past several years. Contact our slip and fall lawyers in Nebraska at 206-737-3496 as soon as possible for a free consultation.
Strong Law Always Gives Our Clients the Highest Level of Representation
As our past clients will attest, our slip and fall attorneys in Nebraska always treat our clients with the respect they deserve. Our professional approach to representing clients gives us a leg up against insurance companies looking to reduce your claim.
We prepare thoroughly for each case. Whether we’re negotiating with the insurer or preparing to take the case to court, we provide the attention to detail that gives us an edge. We use the facts in the case to show why you deserve the amount of compensation you’re requesting. We do not back down when adjusters and lawyers representing the insurance company try to bully us.
Recovering Damages in a Slip and Fall Case for You
In the state of Nebraska, victims who suffer an injury because of someone else’s negligence can seek damages without limitations. We will fight hard to help you receive the award you deserve. Some of the injuries for which we can seek compensation after a slip and fall accident include:
- Broken bones
- Soft tissue injuries
- Cuts and scrapes
- Facial trauma, including a broken jaw or teeth
- Head and brain injuries
- Back and neck injuries
- Emotional trauma.
Those people who suffer the most serious injuries and who find that their lives dramatically change after the accident will have the opportunity to win the largest settlements. Suffering from issues like being unable to work, losing out on time spent with family and friends, and permanent disfigurement all can lead to larger settlement amounts in a slip and fall lawsuit.
It is Essential to Your Slip and Fall Case that You Determine All of Your Injuries
After suffering a slip and fall injury on someone else’s property, you should always see a doctor. Even if you believe you are fine in the immediate aftermath of the fall, you could begin to experience difficulties in walking or significant pain in the next few days.
To have the evidence you need to file a claim, you need to have a doctor’s diagnosis of your condition. Your doctor should help you come up with a plan for your recovery as well, spelling out exactly the future you’re facing. Our personal injury lawyers then can help you interpret the doctor’s reports, using this information to figure out what kind of compensation we should request.
For example, head injuries could leave you needing to relearn how to speak or walk. Even a fall from a few feet could lead to a serious head injury. Our brain injury lawyers will be ready to show the insurance company how your life changed after the accident. This is an important step toward winning the best possible judgment.

“Very professional, and treated me as an equal.”
Just wanted to say thank you to Jed and his team at Strong Law. Not only was I happy with the outcome, but the entire process as a whole. I would definitely recommend this firm to anyone. Thanks again.
“Unbelievable work!”
I had a claim involving my own insurance company. I tried to negotiate with them, and they completely denied my claim – two times. I then hired Strong Law, and the change was instant. The insurance company immediately began negotiating, and Jed was able to secure an unbelievably good settlement. I will never again attempt to take-on an insurance company without Strong Law in my corner. Thank you!”
“I got justice and awesome compensation.”
“I hired Strong Law after my car accident. Jed and his team worked hard on my case. They were professional and compassionate through my surgery and as I recovered, and they were awesome on communication. I got justice and awesome compensation. I would recommend Strong Law to anyone in my situation.”
You Do Not Have to Pay Us Ahead of Time to Secure Our Services
At Strong Law, our Nebraska slip and fall lawyers represent our clients on a contingency fee basis. This means that we do not require clients to pay us anything at the time they hire us or during the process of the case. Instead, our fee will come from a percentage of the final settlement amount in the case.
Understand that we will provide advice for our clients throughout the process, based on our years of experience with slip and fall cases. However, you always will have the final say in whether we accept a settlement offer or go to trial. We will keep you informed every step of the way during the case, moving as quickly as possible toward the best possible outcome.
Common Questions for Our Slip and Fall Attorneys in Nebraska
As we meet with and represent clients after accidents, our Nebraska slip and fall lawyers hear certain questions frequently, including the following.
Is it easy to win a slip and fall lawsuit?
Winning a judgment in a lawsuit like this is not an easy process. It takes extensive preparation and knowledge of local personal injury laws. You certainly have the right to negotiate with the insurance company on your own to try to reach a settlement. But you may be at a disadvantage against the veteran lawyers and adjusters at the insurance company. Our slip and fall injury attorneys focus on these cases regularly, and we have the ability to make sure the insurer treats you as fairly as possible.
Should I file a claim against my neighbor after a slip and fall accident?
It can feel embarrassing or unneighborly to file a slip and fall claim against someone you know well. You may have concerns about upsetting your neighbor. But if you suffered injuries at your neighbor’s home because of negligence, you should not have to pay your medical bills yourself. Remember, your neighbor’s homeowner’s insurance company should pay the claim, rather than the neighbor.
How much can I win in a slip and fall case?
Each case is different, so we cannot guarantee an amount you could win. Some people win a few thousand dollars to compensate them for minor injuries. For someone who suffers life-altering injuries, a six- or seven-figure settlement is possible.
Is a failure to perform snow removal something that leads to a slip and fall claim?
In the State of Nebraska statutes, both residential and commercial property owners have up to 24 hours to remove snow from sidewalks. A failure to adhere to this city statute could be evidence of negligence on the part of the property owner. If you slip and fall on this leftover snow and ice, you could bring a claim.
Do slip and fall cases often end up in a courtroom trial?
Many slip and fall cases will reach a settlement during negotiations between our slip and fall attorneys and the insurer. Through these negotiations, we can avoid having to go to trial. However, insurance companies occasionally refuse to negotiate in good faith, meaning we cannot win the best possible judgment for you without a trial. Should we need to take the case to trial, we are ready to present your side of the case. Our lawyers are well-prepared for both the negotiation phase and the courtroom phase.
Do I have a valid slip and fall injury claim?
This question typically addresses whether the conditions that led to the slip and fall were due to negligence on the part of the property owner or another party. Understanding the elements of a valid slip and fall claim can help victims determine their legal options.
What should I do immediately after a slip and fall accident?
Individuals often inquire about the steps they should take immediately following a slip and fall accident, including seeking medical attention, reporting the incident to the property owner or manager, documenting the scene (e.g., taking photographs), and gathering witness information.
Who can be held liable for a slip and fall accident in Nebraska?
This question explores the potential parties that may bear liability for a slip and fall accident, including property owners, landlords, tenants, business operators, maintenance companies, and others responsible for maintaining safe premises.
What types of damages can I recover in a slip and fall lawsuit?
Victims of slip and fall accidents may seek compensation for various damages, including medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, disability or disfigurement, and property damage. Understanding the types of damages available can help victims assess the value of their claim.
What evidence is crucial in proving liability in a slip and fall case?
Proving liability in a slip and fall case often requires evidence such as witness statements, photographs or videos of the accident scene, accident reports, maintenance records, and documentation of hazardous conditions. Understanding the importance of evidence can help victims build a strong case.
How long do I have to file a lawsuit for a slip and fall accident in Nebraska?
Victims of slip and fall accidents must be aware of the statute of limitations, which dictates the timeframe within which a lawsuit must be filed. In Nebraska, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims, including slip and fall accidents, is typically two years from the date of the accident.
Should I hire a lawyer for my slip and fall case?
Seeking legal representation from a skilled slip and fall attorney can significantly benefit victims by navigating the complexities of the legal process, advocating for their rights, negotiating with insurance companies, and pursuing fair compensation on their behalf.

What Are Your Hours?
Strong Law is open five days a week between 9am and 5pm. In addition, we offer after hours return calls, weekend calls, and online chat.
What Kinds Of Cases Are Personal Injury?
Call us to know for sure, but a good rule of thumb is when an “accident” that happened to you because of the acts of or misdeeds of another party. Examples are: Auto accidents; motorcycle accidents; semi-truck accidents; wrongful death; medical malpractice; slip, trip and fall; boating accidents, faulty equipment, nursing home abuse; and many others.
Will I Be Charged To Consult Or Talk With You?
No, not ever. Strong Law is a contingency personal injury firm offering specialized experience along with access when you need it. Our goal is to gain the best settlement and provide comfort in the process, so easy access to us is part of our best practices.
What Does Contingency Mean?
Contingency in a legal matter means an expense to the client based on the outcome of a future event or circumstance which is possible but cannot be predicted with certainty. Said another way, Strong Law gets paid only if your case settles.
Can You Give Me An Assessment Of My Case?
Absolutely. While we cannot guarantee anything, nor do we imply a settlement, our willingness to take your case (and do it on contingency) is our voice that we feel your case has strong merit. After speaking with you, we can provide a merit assessment over the phone. However, we caution that accepting your case does not promise anything, your outcome is reflected in the law firm you choose.
What Should I Do If I’m Having Problems, Like Their Insurance Company Is Calling Me?
Always secure an attorney first. If you sign up with Strong Law now, you can advise their insurance company that you have representation and give them our name and contact information. From that time forward, they should not be contacting you again; it’s the law. If you do not sign with an attorney, like Strong Law, you will need to speak with them and represent yourself to resolve your injury. We strongly urge against this; insurance companies are skilled at ensuring their best interests over yours.
What Are Common Reasons For Insurance Injury Denials?
Make sure you receive medical treatment as soon as possible after an accident, otherwise insurance may argue your pain is from an unrelated incident.Insurance companies will be going out of their way to find some proof that the accident was your fault. Don’t be intimidated.If you have preexisting medical conditions that make you more likely to suffer an injury, it is not uncommon for insurance agencies to deny claims based on this.
How Long Does A Case Take To Settle?
It depends on many factors like medical care, future needs, evidence, proof of liability, and many others. Some cases take months while others can last a couple years. Ultimately, our goal is to represent you and what is going to be best for you in the long run.
Why Can Cases Last Years?
Because the law dictates it. There are many layers to make sure the insurance companies treat you with optimal care. For example, there will be time spent for medical treatments you might need. There is time to gather the needed medical reports and discover any long term impacts this injury will have on your life today and into the future. There is time for the other side to review our demands, research, and respond as well. It can feel like a long time, but we follow the law and strategize for the best benefit to you. We are with you the whole time.
