Kansas City Personal Injury Attorneys

We Can Help You Fight for Fair Compensation

Facing the repercussions of a negligent act of another individual or corporation can be painful and frightening. Serious injuries may result in long term medical care and treatment, even for the lifetime of the injured victim. The costs of medical care, equipment, drugs, nursing care, rehabilitation, future surgeries and other costs can reach into the hundreds of thousands of dollars in the first year alone.

These damages must be paid by the negligent party's insurance company. Loss of wages and future predicted financial losses resulting from the injury accident will also be part of our carefully drafted and comprehensive claim for damages. Non-economic damages including those such as pain and suffering must also be addressed. Our firm is recognized as an aggressive advocate for the injured and will not accept settlements that are inadequate, based on our client's injuries and other serious losses.
