Kansas City Truck Accident Case Experience

Being injured in a truck accident can be a life changing event. Due to the speed, weight and force often involved in 18-wheeler accidents and other truck crashes, the potential for serious, permanent, disabling injury or a fatal truck accident are all too real. Rear end truck accidents are probably the most common type of truck accident, but there are also jacknife, u-turn, underride and rollover accidents. Even though the truck driver may be clearly at fault, the trucking company and their insurance carrier often aren’t looking out for your best interests. To make your situation even more difficult, a common defense tactic is to drag the case out and make you jump to all sorts of hoops to prove the trucking company’s liability and your damages. These are just some of the reasons that having in experience, skilled Kansas City truck accident lawyer working hard for you can be so essential to a successful result in your case.

Properly representing people injured in a truck accident has sometimes been described like handling a car accident case on steroids. The stakes are potentially much higher for everyone involved-the injured person, as well as the trucking and insurance companies. Trucking companies are typically required to follow Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations, which contain hundreds of pages complex regulations involving concepts like driver qualifications, hours-of-service, logging requirements, to name just a few. And it goes on from there. So it’s easy to see where the “car accident on steroids” comparison comes from and why specialized training and resources can be very valuable in these cases.

At Flick Law Firm, we have specialized truck accident, training, resources and litigation experience. For example, Senior Attorney and Litigation Director Lawrence Flick has successfully completed a specialized Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations training program through the United States Department of Transportation. We have successfully handled truck accident claims since 1995, and have the training, resources and experience needed to successfully handle this type of case and obtain the compensation you need and deserve.

A Lawyer with Medical Training

Personal injury cases usually involve medical issues, yet most law schools and lawyers’ continuing education programs provide little medical background for attorneys. To acquire this invaluable knowledge, Attorney Lawrence Flick studied anatomy, medical history and physical examination, radiology, trauma medicine, pain management, medications, spine problems and other areas of medicine at the University of Kansas Medical School. This training has been instrumental in helping understand and research medical issues in cases, confront common medical defenses raised by insurance companies and question treating physicians and insurance company doctors about medical issues.

A Kansas City Lawyer You Can Reach

Clients often complain that their lawyers are hard to get hold of and won’t return phone calls. At Flick Law Firm, we take the time to communicate with you, explain your legal options and keep you updated about developments in your case.

We make it a priority to return your phone calls by the next business day, advise you on your options and provide you copies of documents and correspondence on your case.

It definitely takes more work, but when we hear comments from clients like, “He has gotten us good results and kept us informed about what was going on”,” I recommend him highly” and “He puts a great deal of effort into his work,” we know that it’s all worth it.

You Work Directly With an Attorney (Not a Paralegal or Assistant)

Your case will be personally handled or supervised by an attorney with over three decades of legal experience, who has handled personal injury lawsuits and jury trials in both state and federal court and who has recovered millions of dollars on behalf of his clients. We do not delegate management of your case to inexperienced paralegals or legal assistants.

Our No Fee Unless We Win Guarantee

We understand the financial impact that being injured can have. Between medical bills, other expenses, lost work time and income it can put you in a real bind. We handle all vehicle accident cases on a contingent fee basis, which means that there are no upfront attorney’s fees, court fees or filing expenses to worry about. Your fees are based on a percentage of the amount recovered and you don’t have to pay anything until compensation is recovered for you.

Personal Injury Practice Areas

Truck Accidents

Commercial vehicles like semis operate day and night, in a variety of weather conditions and often transport hazardous materials. A fully loaded tractor-trailer can weigh 80,000 pounds or more, including the big-rig and cargo. Hitting you at up to highway speed, the risk of catastrophic injury and death is obvious in a semi or other large truck wreck. Injuries that take years to recover from, or may be permanent like brain injury, head and facial injury, back and neck injuries, joint injury, crush injury, burns and multiple injuries/fatalities are not unusual in these crashes. Common causes include inattention, driver fatigue, distracted driving, following too closely, improper lane changes, weather conditions, speeding, not yielding the right-of-way and problems with critical safety equipment.

Car Accidents

A car accident can be unavoidable—even if you are doing everything right. For example, you are stopped at a red light. The driver behind you is distracted or isn’t paying attention and rear-ends you. The scenario is all too familiar. While a number of things can cause a car accident, a significant percentage of auto accidents stem from the negligence of another person. Common causes of these accidents are driving too fast, following too closely, not yielding the right-of-way, or disobeying traffic signs and signals. The other person may be drunk, driving while distracted or experiencing driver fatigue. Injury severity ranges from relatively minor short-term problems to permanent disabilities and fatalities. These include neck and back sprains/strains, bulging or herniated discs, joint injuries, fractures, broken bones, head injury, concussion, whiplash, brain injury, spinal cord injury and in other cases, death. We can help determine who at fault for the accident and obtain the compensation for your damages.
