Types of Injury Cases We Handle

Bottlinger Law, L.L.C. serves the residents of Eastern Nebraska in a variety of personal injury cases, including car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, slip and fall accidents, medical malpractice, and wrongful death cases.

Motor Vehicle Accidents

Motor vehicle accidents are frequently caused by driver negligence.

Drivers who exceed the speed limit reduce their reaction time, and they also increase the chances that collisions will cause serious injuries.
Refusal to follow traffic laws includes tailgating, illegal lane changes, driving in the wrong lane, failure to yield, and other infractions, which can lead to crashes that cause serious injuries.
Distracted driving includes activities that can divert attention from the road while driving, like texting or eating.
Disregarding traffic lights, stop signs, and other instructions leads to collisions.
Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs impairs reaction time, reflexes, depth perception, and other key driving skills.

Truck Accidents

Accidents involving semi-trucks lead to catastrophic injuries due to the immense size and weight of these vehicles. Liability may extend beyond the driver to include trucking companies, maintenance providers, manufacturers of defective truck components, and drivers in other vehicles.

Trucking companies should only hire employees with safe driving records and monitor trucker logs to make sure they aren't violating federal Hours of Service (HOS) regulations. When drivers fail to take required rest breaks, it leads to driver fatigue, which is a major cause of semi-truck crashes.

Premises Liability Accidents

Premises liability refers to the legal responsibility to maintain a safe environment for visitors, residents, and guests. Landlords, businesses, employees, and others may be liable if someone is injured on their property due to negligence.

Common types of premises liability accidents include slip-and-falls, negligent security, fires, and swimming pool accidents.

Wet floors can cause slips if not marked with warning signs.
Uneven surfaces, including walkways, must be maintained to prevent trips.
Tripping hazards, including tools, equipment, toys, and other objects, must be removed from stairs and walkways.
Inadequate or poor lighting can obscure hazards, leading to accidents.

Motorcycle Accidents

A large percentage of motorcycle accidents are caused by drivers who fail to notice motorcycles or fail to take the necessary precautions when making turns. Drivers must signal lane changes in advance and make sure the lane is empty before proceeding.

Bicycle Accidents

Bicycle riders have a right to share the road, and drivers must be cautious around them. Types of driver negligence that cause accidents include failure to check blind spots, opening a car door without looking around, and disregarding Nebraska's Three-foot Passing Law when passing a bicycle.

If you suspect nursing home abuse, there are certain steps you should take to help your loved one.

Seek medical attention to document injuries.
Report the incident to the relevant authorities.
Collect evidence, such as photos and contact information of witnesses.
Keep records of all related expenses and correspondence.
