Car Accident Claims
Our firm specializes in representing car accident victims, navigating Kansas No-Fault insurance laws to recover medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. We handle cases involving distracted driving, DUI, and commercial vehicle collisions. With decades of experience, we've secured millions in settlements for clients with severe injuries, ensuring fair compensation for both economic and non-economic damages.
Wrongful Death Cases
We provide compassionate representation for families who've lost loved ones due to negligence. Our attorneys handle complex cases involving truck accidents, medical malpractice, and premises liability. We pursue both wrongful death claims for family losses and survival actions for pre-death damages, working with experts to quantify economic and emotional impacts while protecting families from insurance company tactics.
Truck Collision Representation
Our team investigates semi-truck accidents, analyzing black box data and FMCSR compliance to establish liability against drivers, trucking companies, or equipment manufacturers. We handle catastrophic injury cases from 10,000+ pound vehicle collisions, securing compensation for spinal injuries, traumatic brain damage, and other severe conditions while countering common defense strategies.
Slip and Fall Injuries
We represent clients injured from property owner negligence in slip/trip and fall cases. Our attorneys prove liability for unsafe conditions like wet floors or inadequate weather maintenance while countering comparative fault claims. We recover compensation for medical expenses, wage loss, and quality-of-life impacts, ensuring clients understand Kansas' 50% fault threshold for recovery.
Motorcycle Accident Claims
Our firm advocates for motorcyclists facing bias from insurance companies, proving liability in collisions with cars/trucks while countering comparative fault allegations. We secure compensation for severe injuries like road rash and spinal trauma, advising on underinsured motorist coverage and handling complex claims involving multiple parties and insurance policies.

Questions
What should I do immediately after a car accident in Wichita?
Seek medical attention, document injuries, collect evidence (photos, witness statements), and contact our firm before speaking with insurance companies to protect your rights.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Kansas?
Kansas statute 60-513 provides a 2-year statute of limitations for injury claims, though exceptions exist for uninsured motorist claims and cases involving minors.
What makes your firm different from other personal injury lawyers?
We provide direct attorney access, 30+ years of combined experience, and a contingency fee model with no upfront costs or payment unless we win your case.
Can I afford legal representation for my injury case?
Yes - we work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless we secure compensation through settlement or verdict.
What types of damages can I recover in a personal injury case?
You may recover economic damages (medical bills, lost wages) and non-economic damages (pain and suffering), with potential punitive damages in cases of gross negligence.
How do insurance companies handle personal injury claims?
