Car Accident Cases We Handle

As an experienced Kansas City car accident lawyer, we handle all types of car accident claims in Kansas and Missouri. Our goal is to maximize financial recovery for medical costs, lost wages, pain and suffering, and property damage.

Rear-End Collisions

Rear-end car accidents often happen when drivers follow too closely, drive distracted, or fail to react to slowing traffic. Our attorneys investigate the crash and pursue compensation for injuries and other losses caused by the collision.

Head-On and Intersection Crashes

Head-on and intersection collisions can cause serious injuries because of the force and angle of impact. We review crash reports, photographs, witness statements, and other available evidence to determine what happened and who may be responsible.

Distracted and Drunk Driving Accidents

Distracted or impaired drivers can put everyone on the road at risk. Our Kansas City car accident lawyers investigate the driver’s actions and gather evidence to support your compensation.

Hit-and-Run Accidents

A driver leaving the scene of an accident doesn’t mean you’re out of options. Our attorneys investigate available evidence and insurance coverage to determine what may be available after a hit-and-run collision.

Fatal Car Accidents

Losing a loved one in a fatal crash can leave families facing significant emotional and financial losses. A Kansas City fatal car accident lawyer can review what happened and explain the legal options available to your family.

Multi-Vehicle Accidents

Multi-vehicle accidents can involve several drivers, conflicting accounts, and multiple insurance companies. Our attorneys investigate the sequence of events, review available evidence, and identify the parties and insurance coverage involved.

Uninsured and Underinsured Driver Accidents

If the at-fault driver has no insurance or not enough coverage to pay for your losses, your own policy may provide compensation. Foster Wallace Personal Injury Lawyers handles claims involving uninsured and underinsured motorists.

If another driver damages your unattended vehicle, we can also help you understand your options to sue someone for hitting your parked car.

After being involved in a car accident in April 2026, I was already dealing with so much physically and emotionally, and the last thing I wanted was the added stress of dealing with everything that comes along with a personal injury claim.

Ali was absolutely wonderful throughout the entire process! She always kept me updated, answered my questions, and most importantly, was 100% honest with me about timelines and possible outcomes. I never felt like I was being given false hope or unrealistic expectations, which I truly appreciated.

What meant the most to me was how understanding and compassionate she was about how emotionally stressful this entire experience had been. She made me feel like more than just another case. Having someone who genuinely listened and understood what I was going through made such a difference.

I'm so thankful for Ali and all of her hard work. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone needing a personal injury attorney!
