1 dead, 1 critically injured in Nebraska rollover crash

On Behalf of | Jul 2, 2014 | Car Accidents |

A car accident that occurred in Nebraska on June 26 left one woman dead and a man critically injured. According to the Nebraska State Patrol, the single-vehicle crash took place on U.S. Highway 83 just north of McCook at approximately 12:30 a.m. It was not reported how the accident occurred.

It was known that the deceased woman, aged 43, was driving the vehicle while the injured man, age 42, was a passenger when the vehicle rolled over. Both individuals were reportedly not wearing seat belts when the incident took place, causing them to be ejected from the vehicle. The man was transported to Good Samaritan Hospital in Kearney. His condition was not reported. It was not known if the woman was taken to a nearby hospital prior to her death or if she was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident.

While the cause of this accident was not known, there are many potential factors that could have played into this particular incident. For example, the woman, who appeared to have been driving, may have been drunk or under the influence of drugs when the crash occurred, she could have been driving while fatigued or she could have been driving too fast for the roadway. Regardless of what caused the accident, she may still be held responsible for the crash.

Because the driver did not survive this incident, the injured man may be able to file a personal injury lawsuit against the woman’s estate. By filing this type of lawsuit, the injured man may be able to seek compensation for a wide range of damages, including the cost of his medical bills, any future medical bills that may be incurred due to future treatment and even compensation for pain and suffering.

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..."
