I-80 in Omaha is America’s gateway to the West and the hustle and bustle of the East and is therefore a hotspot for truck accidents. This highway connects important metro areas to Omaha including Lincoln and Grand Island to the West and Council Bluffs and Des Moines to the East. The high volume of personal vehicles traveling this corridor contributes to the heightened risk of serious accidents.
A semi-truck accident results in a different type of accident. When a car and an 18-wheeler collide it usually does not end well for the car. These large truck accidents are more likely to end in a wrongful death than other types of accidents. As Omaha based truck accident lawyers we see accidents like this all of the time. These unique types of accidents require a unique type of lawyer. This is where Demerath’s lawyer’s expertise comes in.
Personal injuries are, by definition, the result of someone else’s carelessness, and this is certainly true where accidents involving 18-wheelers are concerned. Commercial transport drivers are no less susceptible to modern distractions than those vehicle drivers. Since semi-truck drivers spend countless hours on the road, exhaustion tends to play a role in these types of accidents. Although tractor-trailer operators are now limited to no more than 11 hours of driving each day and must log the required amount of rest time it is still a job that can make truck drivers tired. However, laws regarding these measures are not yet all-inclusive.
Some other typical elements a trucking accident attorney in Omaha may handle include:
Loaded to their maximum legal limit, 18-wheelers can weigh upwards of 96,000 pounds. At a speed of 60 miles per hour, they require 250 to 330 feet stopping distance. Of course, that also assumes the driver is fully trained, alert, and well-seasoned in their profession, has finely honed reflexes, and the road is dry. Damage like this is why you need a truck accident lawyer you can trust.
There are over 500,000 truck accidents a year and approximately 5,000 of those accidents result in death. Omaha drivers are among those at risk of becoming victims of an 18-wheeler crash, but Nebraska truck accident lawyer Larry Demerath, our personal injury and wrongful death lawyer is here for you.
