Brain Injury Lawyer

We understand that juries often underestimate traumatic brain injuries. On top of that, medical bills very rarely reflect the magnitude of brain injuries.

We will tackle both miscalculations head on.

Our Kansas City brain injury lawyers are aggressive litigators and compassionate people. We are patient and understanding with our clients. We draw on our 40+ years of combined experience to empower clients with brain injuries.

Unlike most personal injury law firms, we are known for doing the hard work others avoid: digging deeper to uncover your strongest case, fighting harder to maximize compensation, and ensuring nothing about your recovery is overlooked.

Our financial interests are aligned with yours. We don’t get paid unless you do.

Beyond that, we are not a high-volume personal injury law firm. We don’t churn and burn clients. We take only the cases we believe in, and we dig deeper and fight harder to maximize the compensation we recover for each.

 We frequently take cases rejected by other law firms and settle them for millions of dollars.

Traumatic brain injuries can result from:

• Falls – particularly in young children and older adults
• Car accidents – involving sudden impact or deceleration leading including hit & run accidents, distracted driving accidents and pedestrian accidents
• Sports – contact sports, skiing, horseback riding, and more
• Assaults – causing harm and trauma to the head
• Military combat – blast injuries or direct blows to the head
• Workplace accidents – including falls or machinery accidents
• Shaken baby syndrome – when forceful shaking results in severe harm to an infant’s brain
• Birth and delivery injuries – medical malpractice injuries that cause oxygen deprivation brain injuries
• Hypoxic injuries – oxygen deprivation due to drowning and more

Of course, top priority is always to get the medical attention needed. Beyond that:

1. Call the police immediately, make sure a report is made and ask for a copy – A police report helps provide objective evidence about how a car accident happened and helps provide important information about the people involved
2. Seek medical attention immediately and do exactly what your doctor or health care provider tells you – Even if you have to go to a free medical clinic, taking care of your injuries and health problems is the most important thing to do after a car accident because you need to understand your injuries and get help for them
3. Save all documents, including the police report, medical records, and repair estimates – Your lawyer will need to collect these documents and if you already have them, your case will move along much quicker
4. If possible, take photographs of yourself and your property – Seeing the damage has a big impact on people, including insurance adjusters and juries. This will greatly help your case.
5. Do not sign or agree to anything from an insurance company before you know your rights and speak to an attorney – Sometimes insurance companies will ask you to sign documents that will waive your right to other remedies or invite legal trouble down the road
6. Call our Kansas City brain injury lawyers as soon as possible – before valuable evidence disappears

Each case is unique, but our Kansas City brain injury attorneys are committed to digging deeper and fighting harder to uncover your maximum compensation. We will thoroughly explore compensation for:

• Severity and long-term impact of the injury, regardless of medical expenses
• Medical expense reimbursement – including hospitalization, surgeries, rehabilitation, and ongoing medical treatment
• Lost wages and future earning capacity – if the brain injury prevents you from working or reduces your earning capacity
• Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
• Disability and impairment – compensation may be awarded based on the level of disability and impairment
• Rehabilitation and therapy costs
• Property damage – in cases involving accidents, such as car crashes
• Loss of consortium – in some cases, compensation may be awarded to family members for the loss of companionship and support
• Punitive damages – if the incident was particularly egregious, punitive damages may be awarded

How much you get will depend on these 5 things:

1. How great are your losses?
2. How egregious is the liability?
3. Can the wrong-doer pay?
4. Where will you have to file suit?
5. Are you likeable?
