Omaha Wrongful Death Attorney | Do I Have a Wrongful Death Lawsuit?

An accident feels like anything but when someone you love is killed. And rightfully so; the term “accident” itself implies that nobody is at fault. But usually that’s not the case, and a wrongful death claim may be necessary.

The truth is, people often die due to someone else’s negligence or carelessness. Fatal car and semi-truck crashes are often caused by drunk driving, speeding, texting, exhaustion, violating DOT rules, and other risky behavior. Pedestrians are struck and killed by distracted drivers who fail to check their rearview mirrors or blow through a stop sign because they’re in a rush.

Work accidents aren’t typically “accidents” either. Construction workers – namely roofers – often die of injuries sustained from falling off a roof at a job site. Their employers had failed to provide harnesses, guardrails, safety nets, or take other safety precautions that could have prevented the death.

Nobody expects to come face-to-face with the grief and pain of unexpectedly losing a loved one, especially when it’s in such an unimaginable way. But it happens.
