Frequently Asked Questions — Omaha Car Accident Claims
How much does it cost to hire Rensch & Rensch Law?
There is no up-front cost. We handle personal injury cases on a contingency-fee basis — you owe no attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you. Your initial consultation is always free, whether by phone, video, or in person at our Omaha or Columbus offices.
Can I still recover if I was partly at fault for the accident?
Yes, often. Nebraska follows a modified comparative-fault rule: you can recover damages as long as your share of the fault is less than 50%, but your award is reduced by your percentage of responsibility. An experienced Omaha personal injury lawyer can help reduce disputed fault arguments from the other side.
Do I have to go to court if I file a personal injury claim?
Most personal injury claims in Nebraska settle before trial — the insurer weighs the cost of litigation against a fair settlement. If the insurer refuses to negotiate in good faith, Rensch & Rensch Law is prepared to file suit. Our attorneys have participated in more than 100 jury trials, so insurers know our cases are trial-ready.
What should I do immediately after a car accident in Omaha?
Call 911 if anyone is injured, move to safety if possible, and request a police report — Omaha police typically respond to crashes with injuries or significant property damage. Photograph the scene, exchange insurance information, and seek medical evaluation the same day even if you feel fine (some injuries like whiplash and concussion present hours later). Do not give a recorded statement to the other driver's insurer before speaking with a lawyer.
What if the other driver was uninsured or underinsured?
Your own auto policy likely includes Uninsured Motorist (UM) and Underinsured Motorist (UIM) coverage — Nebraska requires insurers to offer these coverages with minimum limits of $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident. UM/UIM steps in to pay medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering when the at-fault driver cannot. We handle these first-party claims regularly and know how insurers evaluate them.
How is fault determined in a Nebraska car accident?
Police reports, traffic citations, witness statements, dashcam or surveillance video, scene measurements, and (in serious crashes) accident-reconstruction experts all factor in. Nebraska's modified comparative-fault rule means the percentage assigned to each driver directly affects recovery, so we invest in thorough evidence-gathering from day one.
What clients say

Worked with Chase primarily on my case but had Nate helping out too. Very kind people and very patient, don’t be afraid to ask them questions… i asked a million and more and always got a good response.
I worked with Chase for a car accident. He got me a really good amount for my settlement. He walked me through everything step-by-step. Definitely recommend Chase and his team for any Accidents :)
I've dealt with numerous lawyers in my life. I have referred people to lawyers I thought would do a good job. It seems like every time my friends/colleagues would report back that they had a negative experience. I started to wonder if I am just a bad judge of character, especially with regards to lawyers. That was until I met Sean and Dick Rensch. Personal injury law is way more complicated than I ever thought. These guys are pros and I feel lucky to have found them. Thanks for the chance to leave this review.
My mom was hit by a car and we were overwhelmed. Sean Rensch put us at ease immediately. He handled all medical bills, insurance, and secured a fair settlement so we could focus on her recovery. Professional, compassionate, and highly effective. Highly recommend Sean Rensch of Rensch and Rensch. Thank you, Sean!
I would highly recommend Chase Murphy if you have been in an accident. He is very kind and caring and will get you the best result from the insurance carriers involved.
So glad to give this review. I’ve been around lawyers my entire career videotaping depositions in Nebraska. When I got into a car crash recently, I did not hesitate to contact Rensch & Rensch Law. I’ve seen Dick and Sean in trial and in many depositions. This is the best injury firm in Nebraska. My case ended up being handled primarily by Rensch & Rensch attorney, Mitch Kohl (who I learned is a doctor and a lawyer!!!). Dr. Kohl did an excellent job for me. Clearly he fits in well with Sean and Dick. I need to thank them all, including paralegal Carley Adams. I’m so happy with how this case turned out. Thanks. John MacKnight
Sean Rensch, Nate and his team were so helpful, professional, always answered my phone calls or texts and always calmed me down when I was getting frustrated with how Workman's Comp was treating me. Sean and Nate told me from the beginning that it would be a LONG Process and it was, But they made it go smoothly and kept reassuring me that everything was going as they planned. It is in the pasted now, we Won my case and now I feel that I have made Life long Friends with Sean and Nate.
I was very pleased with the experience of working with Chase and Nate on my case, they were thorough, caring, and did everything they could to get the best outcome. I am very happy with how everything turned out! If you want to work with a lawyer who is truly caring about YOU and not just doing a job, please go see them. ALL of them at Rensch and Rensch are amazing and you won’t be disappointed!
I can’t thank this legal team enough for their incredible support. They communicated with me clearly and consistently throughout the entire process, making a difficult situation much easier to navigate. Chase and Nate truly went above and beyond checking in on how I was doing after the incident and even celebrating the small wins along the way. They were professional and compassionate. I’m so thankful for their help and highly recommend this team to anyone in need of legal representation.
I am so thankful to have found this law office on the internet! I had a few car accidents and even though this was a horrible experience to be in, Sean made this process and painless as possible. Thank you for all your help and support I will forever be thankful!
These guys were the upmost professional when I hired them. Were 100 percent of the time. Answered questions if I had them let me know how things were going. Gave me advice. Told me things might take long. It did and they were always there. I would hire them agian in a heartbeat.
I lost count on how many times I’ve recommended this team to people. They really know how to treat you like family; I don’t think any other firm would fight tooth and nail for my wife and I quite like Chase did. Eternally grateful for Rensch & Rensch Law.
I was injured in a car accident. A close family friend referred me to Rensch & Rensch. I am grateful to have had such a knowledgeable and empathetic team on my side. Nate, Chase, and Sean really went above and beyond showing up for my case. They made sure I understood every step and decision. I could not recommend them more.
I would recommend R&R a million times over if I could. Chase was so kind and patient with us, and he showed my wife and I nothing but compassion. He treated us like people, not just a case number or a paycheck. If you’re looking for a lawyer who actually cares about what they’re doing and want nothing but the best for their clients, this is absolutely the place to go. Thank you for everything Chase.
