Contact Us
Since the firm was established in 1946 our attorneys have provided businesses and individuals with practical and creative legal solutions.

From offices located near the Nebraska State Capitol in Lincoln, our lawyers have handled serious personal injury and medical malpractice cases in the state and federal courts of Nebraska and appeared before tribunals in cities such as Lincoln, Omaha, Grand Island, North Platte, and Kearney, as well as in smaller communities like Valentine, Columbus, Norfolk, Nebraska City, McCook, and Chadron.

Keating, O’Gara, Nedved & Peter, P.C., L.L.O. is a full-service law firm, representing clients in matters ranging from serious personal injury cases to business formation and family law. Whether we are assisting a client with a settlement or taking a case to trial, we have the same standard of excellence for every matter we address:

    *Our attorneys work as a team on complex cases.
    *Our lawyers aggressively pursue the best outcome possible.

Our firm has recovered tens of millions of dollars on behalf of injured clients, including the largest verdict ever against the Nebraska Department of Roads. (Please visit our Significant Cases page for more information.)

More than Money

Thoroughly preparing cases and aggressively representing clients, can yield more than just a monetary result. In a number of our cases, successful resolution required policy changes by the defendant that improved safety, quality of care, or the delivery of services.

Our cases have resulted in improved traffic signal response procedures, faster emergency protocols, more vigilant monitoring of patients, and earlier screening for cancer–just to name a few. Changes like these help ensure that catastrophic mistakes will not be repeated–and contribute to a safer Nebraska for all of us.

The legacy passed to us by our founders is demonstrated not only through the quality of our legal services, but through our lawyers’ active participation in legal and civic organizations.
