If you have been hurt at work, in a motor vehicle accident, or in some other way due to the negligence of another person or company, it can feel like the walls are closing in on you. Not only are you in pain and needing treatment, but you may be forced to miss work (and a desperately needed paycheck).
Questions fill your mind: What do I do if the insurance company doesn't pay me the right amount? What if, after I'm all done treating, I am unable to go back to working at the job that I was doing when I was injured? What if the insurance company denies my claim, and I simply can't get treatment? At Shasteen & Morris, an experienced attorney can help answer those questions and the many others that will crop up as you navigate your claim.

A lifelong Nebraskan, firm shareholder/attorney Holly Morris grew up near Lorton (population: 41) in Otoe County. She graduated from Creighton University in Omaha after having worked at several different part-time jobs while in school, including helping on the family farm, as a hospital nursing assistant, in a printing factory, and for a newspaper.
It's also about your ability to provide for yourself and family. One of the biggest, scariest questions on every injured worker's mind is this: What if this injury puts me out of the game? That is: what if you can't ever go back to doing the type of work you've done in the past?

My worker comp case required an attorney, after talking with several in the Lincoln and Omaha area I chose Holly Morris. She is very professional and helped me through every step of the process and got my case settled.
I highly recommend Holly and her office to anyone seeking counsel in their workers comp case.
