If you or someone you know has suffered a serious or permanent injury due to the negligence of another party, contact the Law Office of Scott McFall, LLC at (913)764-5010 today to speak to an attorney experienced in handling Overland Park serious injury cases.
Our Johnson County law firm’s personal injury lawyers may be able to help you in a number of ways: First, our injury attorneys can obtain reimbursement for medical injuries and expenses resulting from your Overland Park auto accident. This includes both medical expenses you have already incurred as well as future medical expenses as determined by your doctor or medical professionals.
Second, our personal injury firm may be able to help you recover wages lost due to your Overland Park auto accident. Our wrongful death/personal injury lawyers can secure reimbursement for work you already missed due to being in the hospital, being disabled and unable to work, for appointments, as well as wages you will lose in the future. “Lost wages” recoverable from an Overland Park car crash include reduced income due to losing or being unable to perform a job which pays more than your current job. So if you used to make $15/hr, but you can no longer perform your duties because of an Overland Park auto collision, and are forced to take a different job paying $9/hr, then we our Johnson County serious & permanent injury lawyers can recover the difference in a personal injury lawsuit filed in Johnson County District Court, Wyandotte County District Court, Jackson County Circuit Court, or even federal court for the District of Kansas
Third, our personal injury law office may be able to help recover “non-economic” damages for permanent disabilities suffered in the Overland Park auto accident. Such damages, unfortunately, are currently capped by statute in Kansas, although this statute is under review by the Kansas Supreme Court. Disability damages are not only available for those who can no longer work because of the collision, but for anyone who is facing a permanent injury. For instance, if your back remains stiff due to injuries suffered in an Overland Park collision with an 18-wheeler or semi-trailer, then one of our experts can put a value on the back injury to compensate you for the inability or difficulty in performing household chores, or a reduction in physical activity.
Other non-economic damages recoverable in a personal injury lawsuit caused by an Overland Park car accident include damages for lost care, comfort, or activity with family or friends. For instance, our personal injury attorneys have or currently represent clients who are unable to play with or pick up their children because of back, neck, or spinal injuries suffered in a car accident. These are often called “Wentling” damages and are not subject to Kansas’ damage caps. The jury is allowed to decide what these damages are worth.
