Kansas City Auto Accident Lawyers
There is no such thing as a typical car accident. This is why each auto accident lawyer at White, Allinder, Graham, Buckley & Carr takes a unique view of every case to help ensure our clients the full compensation they deserve for the costs of their injuries and other losses caused by the negligence of other drivers.
Understanding your legal options after a car accident
During your free initial consultation with one of our Independence auto accident lawyers, we begin reviewing your legal options based on the details of your case. The following three basic legal options exist:
- Insurance claims. For minor collisions involving little or no injuries, we may recommend that you file a claim against the insurance policy of the liable driver. Most insurance claims offer quick reimbursement for losses and do not require legal services, but we can provide important advice on how to effectively handle your own claim. And if you experience difficulties, we can step in on your behalf at any time.
- Out-of-court settlements. When you suffer significant personal injuries, or in complex situations—such as when multiple drivers may have liability—we may recommend pursuing a negotiated settlement with opposing attorneys. We can often achieve full and fair compensation for all economic and non-economic losses without requiring a stressful courtroom trial.
- Jury trials. The most severe cases may require a full courtroom trial to help ensure our clients receive fair compensation for all losses, even when severe injuries or disabilities result in a lifetime of expenses and emotional costs. We have the extensive litigation skills needed to present juries with all the details required to prove liability and help ensure our clients receive the full awards they deserve.
Your rights to compensation
Each of our car accident lawyers in Independence have extensive knowledge of the state laws governing a wide variety of personal injury claims. Many individuals may not understand that they have a right to pursue compensation even when they share liability for an accident. But under the Missouri comparative negligence law, even when victims have 99 percent of fault for an accident, they can still pursue compensation for one percent of the expenses related to their injuries. Each accident lawyer at our law firm knows how to gather the evidence needed to prove the degree of fault by other drivers to help protect the rights of our clients.
