What Is Your Injury Case Worth?
Compensation depends on:
- Medical bills (past and future)
- Lost wages and reduced earning potential
- Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
- Permanent disability or disfigurement
Settlements and jury awards vary based on factors like insurance limits, liability, and jurisdiction. A moderate soft tissue injury may resolve for $15,000 to $50,000, while a severe spinal cord injury could lead to a multi-million dollar settlement.

Personal Injury Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit?
In Missouri, most cases must be filed within 5 years (RSMo § 516.120). Kansas allows only 2 years (K.S.A. 60-513). Early consultation ensures evidence preservation and claim protection.
What if the driver who hit me doesn’t have insurance?
We explore uninsured motorist coverage and other liable third parties like employers, rideshare services, or negligent vehicle owners.
Do I have to go to court to get compensation?
Not necessarily. Many cases settle out of court. But we prepare every case for trial to maximize leverage and ensure the best result.
How much does it cost to hire a personal injury attorney?
We work on a contingency fee basis—you pay nothing unless we recover compensation for you. Learn more in Our Attorney Fees Explained.
Can I still recover if I was partially at fault?
Yes. Missouri follows pure comparative fault, so your compensation is reduced by your fault percentage. In Kansas, if you are 50% or more at fault, recovery is barred; if under 50%, compensation is reduced proportionally.
