Child Hurt in Crash at 23rd and M St in Omaha, NE
Omaha, NE (June 14, 2026) – A crash on Saturday evening, June 13, at 23rd and M Street in Omaha hurt at least one child. Emergency units arrived shortly after 6:09 p.m. and treated the child at the scene.
A medical crew evaluated the child. Officials did not release the child’s name, age, injury details, crash cause, or number of vehicles involved.
The
Omaha Police Department is investigating the collision.
We hope the child makes a quick and full recovery.
Can I File a Claim If My Child Was Injured in a Crash in Omaha, NE?
Yes, as a parent in Nebraska, you can file a personal injury claim for your child if they were hurt in a crash. The claim usually goes through the at-fault driver’s insurance. It can cover medical bills, pain, and long-term costs tied to your child’s injuries.
After the crash, take your child to a doctor, even if they say they feel fine. Children often struggle to explain pain clearly. A full medical exam creates records that can support your family’s claim.
Once you have those records, keep every bill, prescription, and follow-up note. These documents show how much the crash has already cost your family. Without them, the insurance company may dispute what it owes.
When families travel through Omaha, intersections near M Street, L Street, and 24th Street can stay busy in the evening. Children riding as passengers cannot control what happens around them. When another driver causes a wreck, your family should not carry the financial burden.
If your child needs physical therapy, specialist care, or future treatment, those costs may also be part of the claim. Some crash injuries can affect growth, movement, or school performance over time. A full claim should include both current and future needs.
Because Nebraska follows a modified comparative fault rule, insurers should not blame a child who was only a passenger. The at-fault driver remains responsible for the harm they caused. That can make a child's injury claim stronger than many adult claims.
While you focus on your child’s recovery, an
Omaha car accident lawyer can handle the claim and deal with the insurance company. Legal help early can protect your child’s right to full compensation. It can also prevent insurers from minimizing your child’s injuries.
