Nebraska accident leaves motorcyclist in critical condition

On Behalf of | May 13, 2014 | Motorcycle Accidents |

A serious motor vehicle accident in Nebraska left a motorcyclist in critical condition after his vehicle collided with a car at an intersection. The wreck occurred at an intersection that has a stop sign for the northbound and southbound traffic, but no stop sign for traffic traveling east or west.

The motorcyclist had no stop sign when it crashed into the side of the northbound car. An investigation has been launched into the crash, though nothing has been determined until the crash reconstruction team finishes their job.

There are a few things that we can learn from this accident, and the first is the role of investigators and crash reconstruction analysts. Before anyone should consider any legal action in the wake of a car accident, they need to wait for the results of the investigation. With the crash reconstruction and the investigation complete, the injured parties can use the information to substantiate any legal claims they may make.

Another aspect to this crash is the obvious: that a motorcycle was involved. Motorcyclists are inherently more vulnerable in accidents than almost any other vehicle. That’s why it is imperative that all drivers need to be on the lookout for motorcycles.

Motorcyclists usually suffer major injuries when they are involved in an accident. So when a negligent driver causes a motorcyclist harm, and the investigation can substantiate that driver’s negligence, the motorcyclist needs to consider legal action to help pay for the medical bills and pain and suffering that they have been wrongfully dealt.

I cannot thank you enough for the peace of mind you have brought to my family! Both of my parents are extremely grateful for your work. I knew we were in good hands from the first meeting and you have exceeded all my expectations! It may feel straightforward to you, but to us, you have moved mountains. This settlement will allow my parents, particularly my Dad, to enjoy the rest of their lives to the fullest of their abilities. We all agree that we would give every cent back and more for my Dad to walk again, but that is not going to happen...

"...He didn't treat me like I was one of 100 clients. He treated me like I was his only client. He acted professionally but with empathy, dignity and friendliness. It didn't matter if it was something small or large, he was always there for me, be it by phone, fax, email, cellphone or meeting me personally at his office or elsewhere. He never rushed me when I didn't understand something, he'd take as much time as needed to explain things to me, especially when it came time for my deposition and in preparation for trial. He was there for me when I truly needed his help..."

"...My husband and I felt his kindness immediately and were both very impressed with his knowledge of what to expect in a wrongful death case. He pursued our claim in an aggressive manner while at the same time being very protective of our rights and privacy and sheltered us from any unnecessary contact with insurance agents, or any other adverse parties. My husband and I cannot say enough about the kindness, professionalism and legal ability demonstrated by Atwood Law"

"...If it were not for this law firm all I would have received from this injury would have been a loss of income check and a pat on the back, goodbye. Which only would have been a fraction of what I actually received. He was always professional but more importantly he cared about me and my family as people not just a client. He went beyond his role as my lawyer. He even spoke with my bank and explained why I was behind on my car payment. And this saved me getting my car repossessed..."
