Omaha, NE (June 7, 2026) – A man in his 60s was struck by a car on Sunday afternoon, June 7, near 42nd and H Street in Omaha. The impact threw him about 10 to 15 feet from the point of contact.
Emergency units arrived and found the man unresponsive. He began regaining consciousness while crews evaluated him at the scene and showed signs of head trauma.
The man was rushed to the hospital as a trauma case. Officials had not released the man’s name or details about the driver or vehicle involved following the collision.
The
Omaha Police Department is still investigating what led to the wreck.
We hope the man makes a full and swift recovery.
What Should I Do After a Pedestrian Accident in Omaha, NE?
After a pedestrian accident in Omaha, you should call 911 right away, get medical attention, document the scene, and contact a lawyer as soon as you can. These steps help protect your health and any future claim. Acting quickly can make a real difference in how your case moves forward.
In Omaha, pedestrians face daily risks along high-traffic roads like H Street, Dodge Street, and Leavenworth Street. These roads carry fast-moving vehicles through areas where crosswalks are not always nearby. Low visibility during certain hours can also make walking more dangerous.
After you call for help, stay at the scene if you are physically able to. Try to get the driver’s name, license plate, and insurance details. Photos of the vehicle, your injuries, and the road conditions can help show what happened later.
Once you get to the hospital, tell the doctor exactly what happened and where you feel pain. Some injuries, including concussions and internal bruising, may not show symptoms right away. A medical record from that first visit connects your injuries to the crash.
From there, keep every bill, receipt, and record organized. Emergency visits, imaging, prescriptions, and therapy can all count toward your total damages. Insurance adjusters review this documentation closely before making any offer.
Even if the driver stayed and cooperated, that does not settle who was at fault. Nebraska’s comparative fault rule means the insurer may still try to shift blame onto you. Photos, witness contacts, and a police report can help respond to those arguments.
While you recover, dealing with insurance on your own can feel stressful. An
Omaha personal injury lawyer can handle those conversations, gather evidence, and keep your claim on track. That support gives you more time to focus on healing.
