Road construction worker hurt when hit by a sport utility vehicle
At around 1:30 a.m. on Saturday, January 31st, 2010, a city worker was injured when his Bobcat skid loader was struck by a passing sport utility vehicle. The road worker and crew were repairing potholes in 168th Street. Following the collision, the bobcat operator was described as "bruised and banged and lucky, in my opinion" said Fred Thole, Omaha street superintendent. The driver of the SUV was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence.
If you have been injured by a negligent or inattentive driver, you may be considering your legal options. Even if the driver is not facing criminal charges, you may still be able to file a personal injury civil claim to recover monetary compensation for your injuries. Before you talk with the insurance companies, discuss your case with a personal injury attorney right away. The insurance companies will stop at nothing to deny your claim. Without the help of an attorney, you will quickly find out how clever their tactics can be. Don't make the same mistake so many have made before, speak with an attorney as soon as possible and get what you deserve for your injuries!

As a Texas attorney practicing for 20 years, I have litigated all manner of personal injury cases. I use this blog as a place to write opinion / editorial articles on a variety of topics that catch my interest and as a means of sharing news stories relevant to personal injury accidents. I think the overwhelming majority of people are unaware just how common these types of accidents are and I hope this blog raises awareness to rather serious public safety concerns. However, this blog is simply a means for me to share my opinions and I would recommend that anyone who is considering seeking legal counsel should contact their family attorney.
