Personal Injury
& Motor Vehicle Accidents
In Kansas, injuries resulting from the
use and operation of motor vehicles warrant special attention and advice.
Because of the complexity of issues relating to recovery in motor vehicle
accident cases, victims are often left the extremely difficult task of
maneuvering through complex laws on their own. At Slape and Howard, our
goal is not only to help victims understand the legal process, but to
empower them with the ability to make decisions that will allow us to
maximize their recovery.
If you have been injured in Kansas as a result of the negligence of a
driver of a motor vehicle, you may have a claim. The laws of Kansas
require medical expenses of two thousand dollars ($2,000.00) or permanent
injury before a claim can be made. It is important to understand that when
any recovery from the negligent party or their insurance carrier may be
subject to liens for medical, hospital, SRS, or other insurance carriers.
Furthermore, these cases are often entangled with other areas of law, such
as workers compensation, social security and probate law. In cases
involving negligence, suit must be filed within two (2) years of the date
of accident. However, other deadlines affecting a victim's right to settle
may apply depending on the nature and circumstances involved.
These cases are taken on a contingency fee; the fee is a percentage of the
money recovered on your behalf. If you would like to have a meeting with
one of our attorneys, we would be more than pleased to schedule an
appointment at your convenience. There is no fee for the initial
appointment, and any questions you have will be answered at this initial
consultation.
