Most of us drive for decades without ever thinking about a car accident. Then, one day, we experience a life-changing event because of one. If you’ve been seriously injured in a car accident, there’s a good chance your life has been thrown into chaos. You may have lost income or face mounting medical bills, all while your relationships seem tenuous. Shefren Law Offices is dedicated to helping you receive the compensation you deserve after a motor vehicle accident.
Attorney Leonard Wayne Shefren brings more than five decades of legal experience, achieving results in car accident cases, including highly complex matters such as truck, motorcycle and pedestrian accidents.
Will Your Insurance Company Stand Beside You After A Wreck?
Your insurance adjuster will not always be on your side, despite what was said when you bought your insurance policy. Your insurance company may push you to decide while you are dealing with a life-changing injury. Before you agree to a settlement with an insurance company, get trusted legal guidance from Shefren Law Offices. We work to ensure you are compensated for today and the future.

How Long Do I Have To File A Car Accident Claim In Nebraska?
In Nebraska, the general statute of limitations for filing a lawsuit for personal injuries or property damage resulting from a car accident is four years from the date of the accident.
