I was well informed through the whole process. I would definitely recommend this firm.
Being injured in an accident is one of the most traumatic events a person can go through. If you’re looking for compensation for your experience, a personal injury attorney at Conway, Pauley & Johnson P.C. will help you submit your claim.
Accidents will always be a part of life, but that doesn’t mean that your accident is acceptable. Many accidents can be prevented, and you deserve to receive justice and financial compensation when someone else caused you harm.
Unfortunately, you are likely dealing with physical injuries, mental trauma caused by your accident, and a host of other losses. Maybe you don’t have the strength to handle a personal injury or workers compensation claim on your own. No matter what brought about your accident, if negligence was involved, you can seek damages from the party who harmed you.
The Hastings personal injury and workers comp lawyers at our firm can assist you throughout the claim process and help you reach your goal of maximum compensation.
People can often forget to watch out for the safety of others. When someone has caused you to be injured—no matter the accident type—you have every right to hold them accountable.
Auto wrecks are common causes of injuries in Hastings. You can file a claim for a vehicle crash when someone else was responsible for the accident.
Regrettably, many people don’t take care to watch out for motorcyclists, and you could be seriously injured as a result.
Commercial trucks are the largest, and often most dangerous, vehicles on the road. Figuring out who is liable for a truck crash is not always easy. A Hastings truck crash attorney can help.
Sometimes, accidents happen at work, and you might not be sure where to turn. You may be able to receive workers compensation benefits for an accident that occurred at your workplace.
Going through a divorce, or dealing with another family law matter, is an overwhelming experience for anyone to go through. Find the legal help you need with your family issue by partnering with a Hastings divorce and family attorney.
Sometimes your civil case must go to court, but that doesn’t mean you should lose hope. Attorneys at our firm know how to litigate civil matters.
The loss of a beloved family member is overwhelming, and you might be tempted to give in to your grief. However, your family member deserves justice if their death was brought about because of a wrongful, negligent, or careless act.

When you are looking for a lawyer, you probably have an idea of the type of lawyer you want working for you. We believe that our firm has a lawyer who will not only meet your needs, but also exceed them.
One of the qualities you want your attorney to possess is compassion. You need someone who understands the difficulties you’re facing and who will treat you as a person, not as a case. You’ve been through something terrible, and you deserve respect and consideration during this trying time.

You want an attorney who knows how to do the job right and who will behave in a professional manner—someone who takes the time to prepare fully and will see that your claim is handled properly to the end.

The personal injury claims process can be challenging, but Hastings personal injury and workers compensation attorneys at our firm can help you understand it. They will guide you through this difficult time in your life and make every effort to see that you come out of it with a settlement check in hand.
They will start by investigating the accident that hurt you and finding out what caused it. They will then figure out who is liable for the injuries you’ve suffered and the losses that have been thrust upon you.
Next, your attorney will use the evidence available in your case to prove fault and to prove the severity of your injuries.
Your attorney will also help you determine how much compensation you’re owed. You may be entitled to damages you haven’t yet considered.
Finally, your lawyer will put your claim together, submit it with the insurance company, and negotiate toward the settlement you need. If necessary, they can even take your case to court.
When you’ve been injured at work, you might be eligible to file a workers compensation claim rather than a personal injury claim. Most employers in Nebraska are required to carry workers comp insurance to protect their employees financially when they’ve been injured on the job.
The good thing about workers compensation laws is that they protect workers regardless of who caused the accident. As long as your injury occurred at work, or because of your work duties, you might be owed benefits through workers comp.
A Hastings workers compensation lawyer at our firm can help you submit your claim, which will make a denial from the insurance company less likely. Insurance companies can make you jump through hoops in order to receive compensation. Having an attorney on your side can make all the difference in receiving your benefits as quickly as possible.
Workers compensation often covers your lost wages, medical bills, and other expenses while you recover from a work-related injury.
For example, if you have sustained serious injuries in an accident, you likely have medical expenses you’ve been paying for yourself. When someone else caused your accident, these medical bills can be added to your claim.
You can also add your lost wages to the pile. For example, if you’ve been out of work for six months, you can be compensated for all of the income you lost due to your injuries. In addition, if you’ve suffered a permanent injury, you might not be able to work for weeks or months—maybe ever. You can be compensated for future lost income, as well
One of the duties your Hastings personal injury and workers comp lawyers at our firm will take upon themselves is that of helping you calculate all of the losses your accident and injuries have brought to your life.
You can be compensated for financial losses and non-financial losses. Non-financial losses are things such as the pain of your injuries, mental suffering, and loss of life enjoyment.
Pain and Suffering Lost income and future lost income Mental trauma and mental health services Lost quality of lifeProperty damage Caregiving expenses Medical billsCost of physical therapy Disfigurement and scarringAfter a serious injury accident, you are probably not sure what comes next. Whether you were hurt in an auto wreck, a slip-and-fall accident, a work-related incident, or a motorcycle collision, you need to know that you have options.
Filing a claim is within your rights, but where do you start? Talking with a Hastings personal injury lawyer at our firm is the best first step. Our lawyers will be happy to answer your questions during a free, initial case analysis. To get you started, here are some answers to commonly asked questions our attorneys receive:
In Nebraska, the time frame you have to submit a personal injury claim is four years. This is known as the statute of limitations. It’s important that you understand that once the four-year time frame has elapsed, you will no longer have the opportunity to file a claim.
Comparative negligence is when the fault of all parties involved in an accident is compared. Each person who was involved in the accident will be assigned a percentage of fault. So long as your fault was not greater than the other involved party, you can still go after that person for damages, even if you were somewhat to blame for the accident.
Workers compensation claims are filed with your employer’s work comp insurance company. You can receive benefits for an accident that occurred at work even if you caused the accident that hurt you. With a personal injury claim, you can only receive compensation for an accident if you weren’t the one who caused it.
Yes, there can be more than one person who is legally responsible for your damages. For example, if you’re in an accident caused by a commercial truck driver, both the trucker and the trucking company could be liable for your losses.
A contingency fee arrangement is when an attorney agrees to take your case on the condition that you will pay for their legal services after you win a settlement. The attorney’s fees are contingent—or dependent upon—the attorney getting you the settlement you’re after.
