Experienced Omaha Trucking Accident Attorney Serving Clients Throughout Nebraska
Truck accidents are more complex than other motor vehicle accidents, given the size and weight of the vehicles involved, as well as the often devastating consequences. Because commercial trucks are so heavy, braking them is much more difficult, and they have larger blind spots than other vehicles. As a result, these crashes can cause life-altering injuries or even fatalities, along with significant property damage.
At Shefren Law Offices, truck accident attorney Leonard Wayne Shefren offers more than five decades of legal experience managing commercial truck cases. He has represented and assisted victims seriously injured by the negligence of truck drivers or major trucking companies involving 18-wheelers, semi trucks and tractor-trailers. He deeply understands our client’s needs and maintains clear and consistent communication. He also helps them navigate the complexities of transportation regulations, logbooks and black box data, as well as fight effectively against the army of lawyers deployed by transportation companies.
Aggressive, Highly Confident And Detailed Legal Representation
Our truck accident attorney meticulously reconstructs each incident, analyzing the truck’s load, maintenance records, compliance with weight limits, road conditions, driver hours, logbooks and black box data.
We understand the impact that a truck accident can have on victims. These complex cases often involve multiple liable parties – from the truck driver and trucking company to maintenance providers, shippers or even manufacturers. These lawsuits are made even more complex by the federal and state regulations, including rules issued by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA).
Overcoming these regulations and confronting powerful insurance companies and corporate legal teams demands extensive experience and knowledge. Therefore, our truck accident lawyer assumes full responsibility for all legal challenges, allowing our clients to focus entirely on their recovery.

How is a trucking accident case different from a regular car accident case?
Trucking accident cases differ significantly from standard car accident cases due to several factors:
- They frequently involve more severe injuries and property damage because of the size and weight of commercial vehicles.
- A greater number of potentially liable parties, including the driver, trucking company, cargo loader and maintenance providers.
- A more complex legal and regulatory framework governed by federal (for example, FMCSA) and state regulations.
- Higher insurance policy limits and unique evidence such as black box data and driver logs.
- They require a deep understanding of commercial vehicle operation standards.
In the event of an accident, it’s essential to have an experienced, results-oriented truck accident attorney. At Shefren Law Offices, our legal team maintains a personalized approach that will help you understand the specific challenges of your case.
What types of compensation can I recover in a trucking accident claim?
In a trucking accident claim, several forms of compensation may be available, generally classified as economic and noneconomic damages:
- Economic damages address measurable financial losses, including past and future medical bills (such as hospitalization, surgery, medication and rehabilitation), lost incomes, vehicle repair or replacement costs, and other documented expenses.
- Noneconomic damages provide compensation for nonfinancial harms, including pain and suffering, emotional distress, mental anguish, disfigurement, physical impairment, and diminished enjoyment of life.
