Prolific Omaha personal injury attorney Ronald Palagi, known for his pioneering advertisements and gregarious spirit, died earlier this month at 75. His decades practicing law earned him a reputation as an empathetic attorney, taking on clients he believed had been wronged and, in some cases, winning sizable settlements.

Palagi died at home with family on April 3 after health complications resulting from a fall. Born in Montana but raised in Omaha, the Benson High School graduate built The Law Offices of Ronald J. Palagi, a well-known personal injury practice. At its peak, the firm had three offices in the Omaha area.
