Kansas Car Accident Lawyer

Call (888) 471-3714 to speak with a car accident attorney.

The population of the Kansas is continually growing, and with this population growth also comes an increase of cars and other vehicles running on the roads. Although car accidents are a fact of life, and often unavoidable, there are instances when one of the parties involved can be held liable. If you have been involved in a car accident, it's a good idea to consult with a qualified Kansas car accident attorney in order to find out if you have a case.

Your attorney will not require payment up front; he or she will provide an initial consultation free of charge, and even if you decide to retain the attorney's services, they will take the case on a contingency basis this means that you pay nothing unless and until your case is won or you have received an out-of-court settlement. At this point, your attorney's fees will be a percentage of your settlement or award.

It's also important to have a full physical examination after the accident, to evaluate the extent of any injuries you may have sustained. Even if you do not feel that you have been injured, there is always the possibility that an injury, particularly an internal injury, may develop in the future. You may be able to claim compensation for that injury or condition in a lawsuit, but only if you have sought medical attention as a result of the accident.

Your attorney needs to begin collecting evidence and witness testimony about your accident almost immediately, so it's important to hire an attorney as soon as possible. Your attorney may take photographs of the accident scene or even stage a reconstruction of it. He or she will also need to look at the police report, speak to witnesses, and do research regarding any applicable statutes or precedents that may have bearing on your case.

Another advantage to having an attorney on your side during the aftermath of a car accident is that your attorney will handle all communication with the insurance company or companies involved. If an insurance adjuster contacts you directly, you are more likely to say something that will harm your case in the future than an attorney.

Many car accident cases can be settled out of court, and your lawyer, after reviewing the facts of your case, will be able to inform you whether or not that is a valid possibility to pursue in your instance. If there is some doubt about which party was negligent, and to what extent that negligence directly caused the accident, however, the case may go to a court of law. Your lawyer will take care of all the paperwork necessary to file a lawsuit, as well as representing you in court.

In the meantime, you will be able to focus on recovering from your accident and any injuries it may have caused. You'll get back to living your life, while the attorney shoulders the stress and red tape of a lawsuit.

If you or a loved one has been injured in a car accident, contact an attorney who is in good standing with a member of the Kansas Bar Association, and who has experience in handling personal injury cases that involved automobile accidents.
