Auto Accidents

Kansas City Car Accident Lawyer

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 1,257 people died on Missouri roads in 2005, an increase of 11 percent. There were 428 traffic fatalities in Kansas in 2005, a decrease of 6.8 percent over 2004. Many more people in both states were injured in auto accidents, many of them seriously.

If you have been injured or if a loved one died in a fatal car accident because of someone else's negligence, please contact my personal injury law firm today for a free initial consultation and case evaluation. I am Attorney James H. Bell, a personal injury lawyer with nearly 30 years of experience representing victims of car accidents in Missouri and Kansas.

I am dedicated to recovering financial compensation for people seriously injured in all types of motor vehicle accidents, including those involving:

  • Car crashes (including teen car accidents)
  • Truck accidents
  • Motorcycle wrecks
  • SUV rollovers
  • ATV accidents

There are significant differences in your rights to recover compensation in Kansas and in Missouri. I am familiar with the statutes of both states and will fight to see that you recover the full amount of financial compensation the law allows. For example, in Missouri, if you are judged to be 99 percent at fault for an accident, you may still recover financial compensation for 1 percent of your damages. In Kansas, however, you cannot recover any compensation unless the other party is found to be 51 percent or more at fault.

To learn more about comparative fault and other matters that may affect your ability to recover compensation, please contact my law firm to arrange a free consultation. In all auto accident claims, you will pay nothing unless we win your case.
