If you’ve been hurt in a car accident in Kansas City, you’re probably already getting calls from insurance adjusters and seeing billboards for the big settlement-mill firms. There’s a better option: a smaller firm with over 35 years of experience, where you work directly with your attorney, your case isn’t handed off to a call center, and a lower contingency fee means more of your recovery stays with you.

We handle the insurance company so you can recover

After a crash, the other driver’s insurer is working to pay you as little as possible. We deal with the adjusters, the paperwork, and the deadlines — building a claim for the full value of your medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering. You focus on healing; we work to get you the most money possible and to protect your credit.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a car accident lawyer cost in Kansas City?
We work on a contingency fee, which means you pay nothing up front and nothing unless we recover money for you. Our percentage is lower than the typical 33–40% charged by high-volume firms, so you keep more of your settlement. We’ll put the exact fee in writing before you sign anything.
How long do I have to file a car accident claim in Missouri?
Missouri generally gives you five years from the date of the crash to file a personal-injury lawsuit, and Kansas generally gives you two years. Deadlines and exceptions vary, so talk to an attorney early — waiting can cost you the claim.
What should I do after a car accident in Kansas City?
Get medical care, document the scene and the other driver’s insurance, and avoid giving a recorded statement to the other insurer before you’ve spoken with a lawyer. Then call us for a free review of your options.
Do I have to go to court?
Most car accident claims settle without a trial. But we prepare every case as if it will go to trial — that’s what gets insurers to make fair offers.
