Nebraska and Iowa-area Wrongful Death Attorney
Iowa and Nebraska wrongful death attorney Fredd J. Haas understands that no amount of money can ever erase the tragedy of losing a loved one. However, pursuing compensation when a family member has been killed because of someone else's negligence can not only help secure financial stability, it may even prevent similar acts of negligence in the future.
Wrongful Death Claims
A wrongful death claim can be brought when a fatal injury has been caused by the negligence of another person or group. This type of claim is usually filed by the family and/or beneficiaries of the individual who has died. If a person has been killed in a trucking accident that resulted from negligence on the part of the driver or the trucking company in charge of the vehicle's operation, a wrongful death suit can be filed. In the Iowa and Nebraska area, the wrongful death attorney at our firm can help in taking the first steps toward filing suit.
Since accidents involving large trucks are so frequently catastrophic, they commonly lead to wrongful death claims. Although trucking companies are often large organizations with legal teams specifically designed to deal with accidents, it is important to remember that there are strict federal laws regulating the safe operation of commercial vehicles. These laws require limits on the number of hours a truck driver can work in a day, proper maintenance of the truck and its equipment, a special license and driver's test for large vehicles, and other provisions. If someone you love is killed in a collision with a commercial truck, our firm serving Nebraska, Iowa, and surrounding areas can help. Our wrongful death attorney will investigate to determine if one or more of the factors contributed to the accident and will hold the responsible parties liable for their actions.
Compensation in Wrongful Death Cases
In the wake of an accident, trucking companies and their insurance representatives may try to provide a financial settlement that does not adequately cover the losses incurred. This makes it extremely important that an experienced personal injury attorney be contacted as soon as possible. Our Nebraska and Iowa-area wrongful death attorney will work diligently to ensure that critical evidence, such as driver's logs, eyewitness accounts, and other important information, is preserved.

- Funeral expenses
- Loss of benefits
