The financial burden of a car accident can also cause emotional stress and other financial issues. The Nebraska car accident attorneys of Berkshire & Burmeister can help.
Traffic accidents include accidents involving passenger vehicles, trucks, motorcycles, commercial vehicles, public transportation vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians. Some accident victims may sustain injuries that heal within a few weeks or months. However, other accident victims are not as fortunate.

The disparity in the vehicles can have a significant impact on the severity of the injuries sustained by some of the victims. However, car accidents involving two passenger vehicles can also result in serious and life-threatening injuries.
