Kansas City Truck Accident Lawyers

The Horn Law Firm is a highly rated and reviewed personal injury law firm handling truck and commercial vehicle accident cases on interstates, state highways, city streets, and county and rural roads. As truck accident attorneys who work in cases arising in Missouri, Kansas, and across the Midwest, we are seeing an increasing number of truck accidents that are causing serious injuries and fatalities. Based on our work, this is occurring due to larger volumes of truck traffic, particularly on I-70, coupled with more drivers who are driving more distracted and aggressively as they attempt to speed up deliveries. Read our blog “Missouri Truck Accidents on the Rise.”

While motorcycle accidents can happen in a variety of ways, a large percentage of our recent cases involve drivers who simply did not see our client on their motorcycle, causing a violent collision or forcing our client to lay their bike to the pavement. Federal studies back up our legal experience that traffic scanning errors have led to about 70% of motorcycle crashes where the driver of another vehicle was at fault. Right from the start, Lead Attorney Doug Horn and the Horn Law team can begin to take care of the issues that arise in a motorcycle accident, including the legal, investigative, insurance, medical, and financial matters that require immediate attention.

From a legal standpoint, distracted driving law cases need to be handled with special consideration for the following reasons:

Drivers using cell phones are so distracted, they have no time to brake or otherwise avoid a collision.  Distracted driving crashes tend to involve more severe impacts and are likely to cause more serious injuries to the head, neck, and back of a restrained driver.

While accident investigations and accident reconstructions play an important role in proving distracted driving, cell phone records are very helpful in establishing the transmission of voice and data at certain times. This is why attorneys who concentrate in distracted driving cases will often seek to preserve the adverse driver’s cell phone in order that specific data can be retrieved from the cell phone memory as to specific data transmissions. Moreover, the reason why it is important to examine the cell phone and corresponding records is because the large majority of distracted drivers who cause accidents will deny that they were using the phone just before the collision.

Distracted driving can be more dangerous than drunk driving and the cases demand more aggressive legal action. The large majority of drivers who are guilty of causing a collision while using a cell phone will admit that they know that this type of conduct is extremely reckless and likely to cause serious injury or death in the event of a collision. Therefore, these cases must be handled as “aggravated negligence cases” and the defendant drivers need to be held accountable to the full extent of the law.

Horn Law concentrates in representing people who have been injured in motor vehicle collisions, work and industrial accidents, and other events that cause serious injury.

We are dedicated to diligent legal representation with the objective of making sure our clients receive fair, full, and maximum injury settlements- insurance compensation that reimburses our clients for all of their past, present, continuing, and future damages.

In a large majority of injury claims where an injured person requires medical treatment and rehabilitation, legal representation will be vital to obtaining the very best results. This is so because insurance companies don’t want to voluntarily pay fair injury settlements. In order to serve their own best interests, insurance companies hire “Claim Adjusters” that work to settle claims at a reduced amount that is favorable to the insurance company.

This is why, if you or someone you know has been injured, the selection of any injury lawyer is an important decision.
