Kansas City Auto Accident Attorney
A car accident can leave you dealing with serious injuries, medical appointments, missed work, vehicle repairs, and questions about the insurance process. It can be difficult to know what comes next or where to begin.
McGreevy Law represents people throughout Kansas and Missouri who have been injured in auto accidents. We take the time to understand what happened, explain your options, and guide you through each stage of the claims process.
Car Accident Cases Involve More Than an Insurance Claim
Even collisions that seem straightforward can raise complicated questions about liability, medical treatment, insurance coverage, and damages.
Every case is different, which is why we begin by understanding the facts before discussing the available options.
Our goal is to help clients make informed decisions while pursuing the compensation available under the law.

If you're unsure whether your situation may involve a legal claim, we're happy to discuss it with you.
What We Review After a Car Accident
To understand how each case is different, reviewing a motor vehicle collision case usually starts by gathering information on:
- How the collision happened
- Who was involved
- Police reports and available evidence
- Photographs or video of the scene
- The injuries sustained
- Medical treatment received
- Insurance coverage that may apply
- How the injuries have affected daily life and work
You do not need to have all of this information before contacting us. We will gather it. The first conversation is simply a chance to talk through what happened and get a clearer sense of where things stand so we can collect more information and give you guidance.
How Auto Accident Claims Are Handled
After learning about what happened to you or your loved ones, we gather the information needed to evaluate your claims, reviewing medical records and other evidence, communicating with insurance companies when appropriate, and working toward resolving the matter.
Many claims resolve through settlement. Others require litigation and trial preparation. We approach every case with careful preparation so we're ready for whichever direction it takes.
Kansas and Missouri Fault Rules
Kansas and Missouri have different law governing negligence and comparative fault.
How a jury determines fault—and how that determination affects compensation—can depend on where the accident occurred and the specific facts of the case.
We regularly litigate in both states, and we can explain the laws that apply to your claims and answer any questions you have during your consultation.
Time Limits for Filing a Car Accident Claim
Personal injury claims are subject to legal deadlines that vary depending on the state and the circumstances of the case.
Missing an applicable deadline can affect your ability to pursue a claim, which is why it's helpful to understand your rights as early as possible.
If you have questions about the timeline for your case, we're happy to discuss them with you.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do after a car accident?
Your first priorities should be your safety and obtaining the medical care you need. If possible, document the scene, exchange information with the other driver, and report the accident to the police and to your auto insurer. If you have questions about a potential claim, we're happy to discuss your situation.
What if the other driver was uninsured?
Depending on your insurance coverage and the facts of the accident, there may be recovery options available. We'll review your coverage and explain what may apply.
How long will my car accident case take?
Each timeline depends on factors such as the severity of your injuries, your medical treatment, and whether liability or damages are disputed. We will attempt to resolve your claim prior to filing suit. If we are unable to achieve a satisfactory resolution without filing suit, we will proceed to litigation and, if necessary, trial.
Do most car accident cases go to trial?
No. The overwhelming majority of cases resolve prior to trial. Some cases even resolve before litigation; others do not. We prepare every case carefully so we're ready for whichever path is appropriate.
Does McGreevy Law handle truck accident cases?
Yes. The firm represents clients injured in commercial vehicle and truck accidents throughout Missouri and Kansas.
How much does it cost to hire McGreevy Law?
$0. That’s right. Nothing! Personal injury cases are generally handled on a contingency fee basis. That means there is typically no attorney fee unless compensation is recovered. We'll explain the fee agreement before you decide whether to move forward.
