Berger Law Firm represents people injured in Kansas City and across the metro — on both sides of the Missouri and Kansas line. The firm is deliberately small: you work directly with the attorney handling your case, not a call center or a rotating case manager, and a lower contingency fee means more of your settlement stays with you.

Injury cases we handle

We also handle medical malpractice, birth injury, nursing home abuse, product liability, wrongful death, dog bites, and aviation accidents. If your injury is not on the list, call and ask — the first conversation is free.

Why people choose a smaller firm

  • You keep more of your settlement. Low overhead, no billboards, and no layers of staff mean we can charge a lower contingency fee. See how our fees work.
  • You talk to your lawyer. Your case is not handed to a case manager you have never met.
  • Your case gets real attention. A small caseload means fewer matters competing for the same hours.
  • We prepare for trial. Insurers make better offers to lawyers who are ready to file and try the case.

Kevin Berger has more than 35 years of trial experience, and the firm has recovered more than $40 million in verdicts and settlements. Read the notable results, or meet the attorneys.

No fee unless we recover for you

There is no charge for the first consultation, and no attorney fee unless we recover money for you. We will explain the fee and how case costs work in plain language before you sign anything.

If you were hurt, the earliest conversations matter most: evidence is freshest, deadlines are furthest away, and insurers have not yet locked in a position. Call (816) 600-3220 or request a free consultation.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a personal injury lawyer cost?
Nothing up front. Injury cases are handled on a contingency fee, so you pay no attorney fee unless we recover money for you. Our percentage is lower than the high-volume firms, and the exact number is in writing before you sign anything. See our fees for the full explanation.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Missouri or Kansas?
Missouri generally gives you five years from the date of injury and Kansas generally gives you two. Claims against a government entity, claims involving minors, and wrongful-death claims can run on shorter or different deadlines. Because Kansas City straddles the state line, the state where you were hurt matters — read the deadline guide or ask us before you rely on the general rule.
What if the at-fault driver has no insurance or not enough insurance?
You may still have recovery available through your own uninsured/underinsured-motorist coverage. We review every policy in the household and pursue the coverage you paid for. Start with how UIM claims work in Missouri.
Do I have to go to court?
Most injury claims settle without a trial. We prepare every case as if it will be tried, because that preparation is what moves insurers toward a fair offer. If a fair offer never comes, we are trial attorneys and will file.
Should I talk to the other driver's insurance company?
Not before you talk to a lawyer. Adjusters are trained to get a recorded statement that limits what they owe. You are not required to give one, and you can tell them to contact your attorney instead.
