Practice Areas

What We Do

We represent people who are injured by the negligence of others. We represent the families of people who have died as a result of medical or nursing home negligence, automobile or truck accidents, or dangerous products. We represent families of children who sustain injuries at birth. In short, we represent people who sustain serious injury or death in accidents, hospitals, and nursing homes.

We protect the rights of our clients and help them receive just and adequate compensation for their injuries, death,or other damages. We work with our clients to make sure that they understand the legal process. We speak up for our clients and their rights against insurance companies and their lawyers.

What You Can Do.

We believe that you should have access to the courts in order to have your case heard by a jury of your peers. Insurance companies, the medical industry, and businesses are working hard to limit or take away your rights in order to maintain and increase their profits. They call this effort "Tort Reform;" however, in reality, it is really "Tort Deform."

If you care about your rights as much as we do, you must voice your opposition to "Tort Deform" to your elected state and federal representatives. Tell them you do not agree with artificial "caps" on your ability to recover damages for pain and suffering. Tell them to put people over profits. Do not let big business and big profits take away your rights to fair and just compensation.

Our fee is "contingent"; we earn a fee only if we are able to obtain a recovery for you. The contingency fee system enables injured individuals and families who cannot afford to pay on an hourly rate basis to have an attorney. The fee agreement will be carefully explained to you before you retain us. Our attorneys, paralegals and legal assistants treat you with the courtesy and respect you need and deserve. We understand that a personal injury claim can add an incredible amount of stress to any person's life. Our experience and our goal is to put you at ease to ensure that your claim is handled in the most expeditious and hassle-free way possible.

We'll put our experience and dedication to work for you. If we don’t recover compensation, you pay no attorney fees. Contact our firm’s Kansas City, Missouri, personal injury attorneys and schedule a free consultation about your case.
