Serious Personal Injuries & Wrongful Death
In most circumstances, if one person causes injury to another or is careless and causes an injury to another person, the law holds that person responsible for the injuries they cause. If you have been injured or someone you love has died because of the recklessness of another, the law provides that you should be compensated for your loss, lost income, medical bills, as well as "non-economic" losses such as disfigurement, loss of self-esteem, pain and suffering and emotional trauma. Although financial compensation cannot heal your injuries, money can help to address the economic consequences of the injury.Types of Personal Injury Cases Include:
Wrongful Death • Serious Automotive, Motorcycle, Boat, Truck and Motor Vehicle Accidents • Psychiatric and Medical Malpractice • Defective Medical Devices • Brain Injuries • Spinal Cord Injuries • Fires, Explosions and Burns • Back and Neck Injuries • Industrial Accidents • Construction Accidents • Travel and Transportation Accidents • Defective Product • Serious Slip and Fall • Dog Bites • Negligent Security • Drug Injuries • Premises Liability in Kansas or Missouri.
