Criminal Law

• DUI/DWI
  Drunk Driving. Alcohol was involved in 30 percent of all fatal car crashes in the state of Nebraska in 2017. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ( CDC ), 3.4 percent of Nebraska drivers reported driving after drinking too much. When drivers get behind the wheel chemically impaired, their reaction times, sense of vision, and sense of judgment all become significantly impacted.
• Wrongful Death
  At Welsh & Welsh, we believe in the importance of teamwork. Attorneys James R. Welsh and Christopher P. Welsh have established a strong record for results by working together in order to get maximum compensation for victims of negligence. Our team approach to personal injury and wrongful death cases has helped people in our home of Omaha and throughout Nebraska, as well as the surrounding parts of Iowa, Kansas and Missouri.
• Traffic Violations
  Driving Too Fast. Even under normal conditions, driving too quickly can lead to a devastating wreck because a speeding vehicle is more difficult to maneuver around curves and turns and is harder to stop. In 2016, there were a total of 562 accidents caused by speeding. 544 resulted in injury and 18 resulted in death. While these numbers are low compared to years’ past, the results are still devastating.

Property Law

• Premises Liability
  When a property owner fails to repair or remove hazards or defects in a reasonable amount of time or fails to post signs and someone gets seriously injured as a result, the injured victim is able to file what is known as a premises liability lawsuit against the property owner. The property owner can be held financially liable for any injuries incurred.
• Property Damage
  Of the 36,227 car accidents in Nebraska in 2017, 210 were fatal, 12,278 resulted in injury (1,228 of which were serious), and 22,511 resulted in only property damage.
