They probably did, but like most people the pursuee was most likely underinsured. I think that the lowest limit that you're required to carry in NE is $20,000 per claimant/$40,000 each accident aggregate/$10,000 property damage, and a judge can't force an insurance company to pay out more than their policy limits (generally speaking). If I remember correctly roughly 60% of the population nationwide only carries the minimum limit. People who carry big insurance policies tend not to run from the police.
