Crash leaves 1 dead in Nebraska

On Behalf of Atwood Law | Jan 8, 2016 | Car Accidents |

One person was killed in a morning accident in Bellevue on Dec . 30. The fatal accident involved two vehicles and left at least one person injured. The incident resulted in a portion of the road closed during the police investigation.

According to police, the accident took place just before 7:15 a.m. when a Chevrolet Cobalt, driven by a 21-year-old Bellevue woman spun out of control at the intersection of 36th Street and Cedar Island Road. The vehicle slid across the center line and was hit broadside by a BMW driven by a 64-year-old woman. The passenger of the Chevrolet, a 44-year-old man, was declared dead at the scene. The driver, his daughter, who had reportedly been taking the man to work, suffered critical injuries and was transported to Nebraska Medicine for treatment and listed in serious condition. The BMW’s driver was transported to Midlands Hospital for observation.

It was unknown why the driver of the Chevrolet lost control of the vehicle. In many fatal car accidents, factors such as weather, road conditions, reckless or negligent driving or driving under the influence play a role. In this case, police have not yet issued any charges related to the crash.

Those who have been injured due to another’s negligent driving might consult with a personal injury lawyer to seek guidance about filing a personal injury claim. A lawyer might advise a victim about what types of compensation they might receive if they file a case and it is successful. Before filing the claim, the victim or the family of the victim might await the completion of the police report to see where liability lies.

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..."
