Have You Been Injured in Kansas City, MO?
We Fight for the Compensation You Deserve (816) 867-8611
Our legal team is experienced and well-equipped to conduct the investigation, prove your case and negotiate with the insurance companies. It is important that you do not merely accept the first offer that the insurance company offers, because it is most often far below the cost of your entire recovery and the trauma that you have been through.
Insurance companies are for-profit companies, and the less they pay you, the more profit they make. It is therefore in their best interest to compensate you as little as possible, even if you deserve much more. Meyerkord, Russell & Hergott can provide you with information regarding your rights and the options you have.
What is a Personal Injury Lawsuit?
A personal injury lawsuit is when there is a legal dispute between two parties regarding an accident that one of the parties is legally responsible for.
They are categorized two ways, including:
- Formal Lawsuit: This is a complaint made by the injured against the other party, a business or company. It involves hiring a personal injury attorney to represent them in civil court.
- Informal Settlement: Includes an informal settlement that is drafted by the two parties, their attorneys, and the insurance companies. The written agreement is reach by negotiations by both sides.

If you are a surviving family member of someone who has been killed in an accident, you are entitled to compensation for any:
- Medical costs
- Funeral costs
- Their lost wages
- Your emotional pain
We understand the serious toll suffering an injury can place on you and your family. At times your daily life may be altered either temporarily or permanently. At the same time, the cost of medical care is often more than a family is prepared for.
When you are suffering because of an accident that was caused by another person, and that person was negligent or reckless, it is not right that you should have to pay the costs associated with your injuries. The responsible party should be held financially responsible as well - and that is what our firm fights to do.
