Your catastrophic injury attorney in Kansas City can track all the economic and non-economic losses you face after an accident. Our law firm can take action to recover money for your:
Medical Costs
Catastrophic injuries like paralysis, amputations, and typically leave victims with high medical expenses. Your lawyer can take action through the legal system to get money to pay for all of these healthcare expenses.
Lost Pay

Our team can determine a fair value for the emotional distress, pain, and mental suffering you experience because of an accidental injury. We’ll hold the liable party responsible for paying for these non-economic damages.

How do You Get Money After a Catastrophic Injury?
You can explore two main options to secure compensation from the party responsible for your catastrophic injury. Our catastrophic injury attorneys in Kansas City may focus on:
Bringing You a Fair Settlement
You do not have to deal with the insurance company alone after an accident. These companies often try to push the injured party into taking a subpar settlement. The company could even deny your claim outright.
Fortunately, you can count on us to negotiate for you. We go over all settlement offers and compare these deals to your losses. In some cases, we can bring you a settlement that will fairly provide compensation.
Fighting for You in Court
You have options if the insurance company won’t treat you fairly. In this situation, a lawyer can help you sue the liable party in the civil court system. Filing a lawsuit allows us to present your case before a judge and jury.
Going to court can extend the time it takes to get compensation. Some lawsuits may take a year or more. However, this option can benefit you if negotiations do not result in fair compensation.

How We Investigate for Our Clients
Our lawyers use many specialized techniques to collect evidence after an accident in Kansas City that results in a catastrophic injury. We vary the steps we take for each client. Based on your needs, we may:
- Visit the location of your accident
- Talk to eyewitnesses to take their official statements
- Collect videos and photos showing the accident
- Get copies of all accident reports
We have a higher chance of collecting all relevant evidence if you contact us immediately after your accident. We can take steps to stop the liable party from removing or destroying evidence that shows their fault.
Time Limits on Catastrophic Injury Claims
Many people wonder how long they can wait to file a claim against the liable party after sustaining a catastrophic injury. Missouri will typically only give you five years to take legal action. If you wait too long, the statute of limitations will pass, removing your chance of securing compensation.
Sometimes, the state changes the amount of time available to you after an accident. Therefore, you should always discuss the specific deadlines for your situation with a catastrophic injury lawyer in Kansas City.
We can go over your situation and give you detailed information about important dates for your claim so you do not have to wonder or worry about approaching deadlines.
