Here at Friedman Law Offices, P.C., L.L.O., we specialize in the following types of cases:
An auto accident can be a life-changing event. Just because your injuries may not be readily visible does not mean that you haven’t suffered serious injury. Objective injuries - such as lacerations and broken bones - are easily identifiable. But, subjective - or soft tissue - injuries, on the other hand, are more difficult to identify. They involve damage to ligaments and muscles and are frequently diagnosed merely by an injured person's subjective complaints of pain. Also, an accident can exacerbate the symptoms of a pre-existing condition, which is called aggravation of a pre-existing condition.
Large, over-the-road trucks are subject to special safety regulations under both Nebraska and federal law. These regulations were developed over time in response to numerous accidents that have resulted in injuries and deaths to people in passenger vehicles. When a trucking company or driver take risks to save time or money, it is always the passengers in the other vehicle who pay the price.
Nebraska workers' compensation law stipulates that employers or their insurance companies pay the benefits following your on-the-job injury. While some employers and/or their insurance companies will voluntarily pay the benefits that are due, many will not.
Dangerous Drugs & Medical Products
Consumers rely on drug companies and medical device manufacturers to provide safe and effective solutions for their health problems. Most of the time, these manufacturers perform admirably, providing us with products that improve and extend our lives. Sadly, there are also many instances in which these companies bring dangerous products to market. A product may not have been tested as thoroughly as advertised or might not work as well as claimed.
Fatal Accident & Wrongful Death
Wrongful death is a death that occurs as a result of another party’s negligence or intentional conduct. In some instances, the negligence or wrongdoing may result in immediately fatal accidents. In other cases, a catastrophic injury may ultimately lead to death. Aside from the devastating personal loss, there are also financial losses suffered by the decedent’s loved ones, including medical bills incurred prior to death, and funeral expenses.
Thousands of individuals each year are victims of head trauma. A Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) can occur as a result of a sudden force or trauma, such as rapid acceleration/deceleration. Symptoms can be delayed for many hours after an injury and may not be detected by imaging tests.
Any traumatic injury to the vertebrae surrounding the spinal cord presents a grave risk of paralysis for the victim. This is true even in cases where seemingly minor fractures in the neck or back have occurred and, even though there may be no apparent or immediate risk of paralysis, the migration of bone fragments into the intervertebral tissues can threaten the spinal cord and cause devastating nerve damage.
A seemingly harmless product can cause serious injury and death because of a hidden defect. Even a perfectly designed product can become defective in the manufacturing stage.
Premises liability refers to cases where a person sustains injury while on residential or commercial property. These are often called "trip and fall" or "slip and fall" injuries.
Medical malpractice occurs when a doctor,nurse,pharmacist, or other healthcare provider fails to treat you according to the generally accepted standard of care. Common examples include failing to diagnose an injury, or even performing surgery on the wrong body part.
