- Each case is unique, so the exact value of your claim can’t be predetermined. However, elements such as medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more are considered in calculating the value.
- What is negligence?
- Negligence arises when an individual breaches their duty of care or fails to act as a reasonable person would under similar circumstances. Such actions—or inactions—can lead to injury, forming the basis for a personal injury claim.
- What does it mean to work on a contingency fee basis?
- At Wallentine Injury Law, we work on a contingency fee basis—meaning you don’t owe anything unless we win your case. We also offer a free consultation to get started.
- Do I have a case even if I was partially at fault?
- Yes, you may still have a case. Kansas and Missouri follow comparative fault laws, which allow compensation even if you were partially at fault.
- What is a statute of limitations?
- A statute of limitations is the legal time limit within which a lawsuit must be filed. For personal injury claims, the statute of limitations in KS is 2 years from the date of the injury. In MO, it is 5 years. However, certain circumstances may affect these timeframes. Consult with our attorneys for your specific case.
