Truck Collisions

Led by Murray Ogborn and Mike Ogborn, each a Sioux Falls, South Dakota native and more recently each a past president of the Colorado Trial Lawyers Association, our trial attorneys have represented hundreds of clients in personal injury and wrongful death cases. We have recovered many millions of dollars to compensate our clients for their harms and losses. Let us share how we can help you and your family in your serious personal injury, product liability or wrongful death case.

Personal Injury Harms and Losses

Serious injuries can be devastating, not only to the injured person, but to that person’s entire family. Injuries frequently cause financial hardship, runaway medical bills, and years of painful recovery. However, the emotional impact of an injury on the family can often be worse that all other problems. OMQ Legal recognizes that personal injury can cause far-reaching consequences far greater than physical pain and financial loss.

Accidents involving 18 wheeler trucks can often result in serious injuries and, at times, even death. If you are involved in an accident with an 18 wheeler or other commercial vehicle, contact our office immediately. Failing to seek legal help from a truck accident lawyer will result in many possible pitfalls that the insurance company is counting on to reduce the compensation you deserve.

Nearly 4,000 persons died in such crashes, which tend to be the most destructive of all traffic accidents due to trucks’ enormous size and weight. Indeed, though big rigs account for just 3 percent of all vehicles on our roads, they’re involved in 12 percent of all fatal wrecks. Immediate and effective representation immediately after any collision can help your lawyer obtain key evidence, like vehicle data collection from the onboard computers in the car and in the truck. Pictures and immediate interviews are also very important. Typically, having experts available to help obtain key evidence is an absolute necessity. Please choose a lawyer that has these experts available to preserve your best opportunity for a fair recovery.

Our skilled South Dakota truck accident lawyers have successfully handled serious personal injury and wrongful death claims involving trucks known as semi-trucks, trailers, big rigs, tractor-trailers, 18 wheelers and other large commercial vehicles.

You need a truck accident lawyer because your injuries are costly and those who are responsible will resist paying for them. Our law firm has experience fighting insurance companies who insure big trucking lines.

What if my injury was minor?

Many injuries can be minor, at first, and then escalate. Many people avoid getting treatment, or hiring an attorney, because they think their injuries are minor. Then, later, the injuries get worse, and so too does the pain. Many injuries have symptoms masked, due to a rush of adrenaline. As the adrenaline in your body wears off, the symptoms from the injury start appearing. You start feeling the pain, and noticing the injuries. It’s crucial you get medical attention. Afterwards, it could be beneficial to speak to an attorney to understand what you may be entitled to. In choosing a lawyer, make sure the lawyer has experience in automobile collisions, the lawyer has experience in the courtroom trying cases in front of a jury and understand the nature and extent of your injuries.

OMQ Legal has experience representing those individuals who have been catastrophically injured, and we take only the most significant cases because we understand the time and attention required handle these cases.
