Edelman & Thompson

The Firm For Major Truck Accidents

Edelman & Thompson are the go-to firm for major truck accidents Driving outside of Omaha, Nebraska in a snowstorm, Howard, a veteran truck driver, was surprised when a fellow truck driver unexpectedly changed lanes in front of him, leading to a serious collision. Howard suffered serious injuries that ultimately will require two knee replacement surgeries and put an end to his career. Although the other driver’s maneuver left him no time to brake, the State Police gave him a ticket. Howard needed someone on his side to help vindicate his record and get him the medical care and compensation he deserved. His son-in-law, an attorney, recommended Edelman & Thompson. Partner Ron Edelman handled his workers compensation claim. “We were able to negotiate a substantial settlement for Howard to help him with lost time and medical care, but we quickly realized he had a civil claim against the other driver’s insurance company.” Partner James Thompson handled that claim. “The insurance company gave Howard a low-ball offer of roughly $70,000 that in no way would compensate him for his major injuries and the loss of his career. We hired a nationally recognized accident reconstruction firm to help us build the strongest case possible, and took our claim to court. The jury awarded Howard a major judgment, dramatically higher than the original offer.” The case helped Howard vindicate his driving record, pay for his medical care and compensate him for the loss of his livelihood. As Howard said, “Edelman & Thompson are the go-to firm for handling truck accidents.”
