After being hit by a Uhaul truck in november of 2024 i was very lost and didn’t really know what to do. I reached out to another company and they sent me to Double Eagle Injury Law. I was in contact with Erick, my case manager, the entire time. He never really kept me out of the loop. He always made sure I knew what updates were happening as they were happening. He took really good care of me got me as much care as he could and got me paid a lot more than what I was expecting. Thanks, Erick!!

Areli was amazing and she really helped me out with my finances once the settlement process started and was able to help me get a pre settlement advance that I desperately needed at the time. She kept great communication with me and was very friendly she also fought hard to make sure I got as much money back as I could. Ian, the lawyer that handled my case was kind and sympathetic and fought hard for me. Make no mistake, the process for these things is long and arduous but they WILL fight for you and WILL win. Highly recommend them. Hopefully I never need their services again. But if I do, I will be using them!

What Compensation Can You Recover?

A spinal cord injury can affect nearly every aspect of your life. Beyond the initial hospitalization, many victims face permanent disabilities, lost income, lifelong medical expenses, and even loss of life. Our attorneys pursue compensation that reflects both your current and future needs.

Depending on your case, you may be able to recover compensation for:

  • Past and future medical expenses
  • Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
  • Adaptive equipment and home modifications
  • Pain and suffering
  • Loss of consortium

Because Kansas City spans both Missouri and Kansas, filing deadlines vary depending on where the accident occurred. Missouri generally allows five years to file most personal injury claims, while Kansas generally allows two years. Missing the applicable deadline could prevent you from recovering compensation, making it important to speak with a spinal cord injury lawyer as soon as possible.

Missouri vs. Kansas: Which State's Laws Apply to Your Case?

The laws governing your case usually depend on which side of the state line the accident happened, not where you live.

 

Missouri

Missouri follows a pure comparative fault system, allowing injured victims to recover compensation even if they share responsibility for the accident. However, your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault.

Kansas

On the other hand, Kansas follows a modified comparative fault rule, meaning you generally cannot recover damages if you are found 50% or more responsible for the accident. Understanding which state’s laws apply is critical to protecting your claim.

How Double Eagle Injury Law Handles Your Case

Every spinal cord injury case is unique, but our approach is always focused on protecting your rights and building the strongest possible claim. From your initial consultation through settlement negotiations or trial, we handle the legal work so you can focus on your recovery.

Step 1: Free Case Evaluation

Your case begins with a free consultation with a member of our team. During this meeting, we’ll discuss how the accident happened, review any available documentation, answer your questions, and explain your legal options. You’ll receive an honest assessment of your claim with no obligation to hire our firm.

Step 2: Investigation & Evidence Preservation

Once we take your case, we move quickly to preserve critical evidence before it’s lost. Depending on the circumstances, this may include obtaining crash reports, interviewing witnesses, requesting surveillance footage, preserving electronic vehicle data, and collecting your medical records.

Step 3: Medical Expert Coordination & Damages Documentation

Spinal cord injuries often require input from medical specialists, rehabilitation professionals, and financial experts. Our personal injury lawyers work with qualified experts to document the full extent of your injuries, estimate future medical expenses, and evaluate long-term care needs. This evidence helps support the compensation you deserve.

Step 4: Negotiation or Litigation

Once your damages have been fully documented, we prepare a demand package and negotiate with the insurance company. While many cases resolve through settlement, we prepare every claim as though it may proceed to trial. Insurance companies are often more willing to negotiate fairly when they know your attorney is prepared to litigate if necessary.

Spinal Cord Injury Case Review FAQs

How much does a spinal cord injury lawyer in Kansas City cost?

At Double Eagle Injury Law, we represent spinal cord injury victims on a contingency fee basis. This means you pay nothing upfront, and attorney fees are collected only if we successfully recover compensation on your behalf.

Missouri generally allows five years to file most personal injury lawsuits, while Kansas generally allows two years. Because Kansas City spans both states, the applicable deadline depends on where the accident occurred. Speaking with a catastrophic injury lawyer promptly helps protect your right to recover compensation.

You may still have a claim. Missouri follows a pure comparative fault system, allowing recovery even if you were partially responsible. In contrast, Kansas follows a modified comparative fault rule that generally bars recovery if you’re 50% or more at fault. Our team can evaluate how these laws apply to your case.

Possibly. Depending on your insurance coverage, you may be able to pursue benefits through your uninsured or underinsured motorist policy. Our attorneys can review your available coverage and explain your legal options.

Yes. Complete and incomplete spinal cord injuries often result in different medical needs, long-term care requirements, and future financial losses. We work with medical and financial experts to fully document how your injury affects your life and future.

Your first priority should always be obtaining emergency medical treatment. After your condition is stabilized, preserve any evidence you have, avoid discussing the accident with insurance adjusters before seeking legal advice, and contact an experienced attorney as soon as possible.
