Is your attorney willing to take your case to trial in front of a jury?  As strange as it may seem, some Kansas City and Johnson County auto accident are either scared or unwilling to take a case to trial.  Hiring such an attorney could seriously jeapardize your rights. Is your attorney aggresive or will he let the defense attorneys dictate the case for him? It is inevitable - defense attorneys in your case will do everything in their power to browbeat your attorney into accepting an inapproriate settlement.  If your attorney does not have the persistance and determination

    Failure to act quickly is often the downfall of Kansas Citians who have been involved in car accidents in Kansas or Missouri. Chances are good that the insurance company for the other driver(s) will call you within days of an accident in an attempt to minimize their payout to you. Remember the insurace companies have hundreds of lawyers, agents, and other employees working for them who all have one goal - to minimize the payout to you.  You owe it to yourself to hire an aggressive Kansas City auto accident lawyer.

    Failure to have the right information available for the insurance company, saying the wrong thing or providing the wrong information may hurt or even eliminate your chances of receiving a fair settlement later.  Hiring an experienced Kansas City auto accident attorney can prevent the erosion of your rights and maximize your recovery.

    If you have been injured in an auto accident in Kansas City, Johnson County, or elsewhere and you're looking for a personal injury attorney, contact the Law Offices of Jeremiah Johnson, LLC immediately. We'll meet with you to discuss your options and to get the process rolling.  There is no charge for an initial consultation and almost all of our personal injury or auto accident cases in Johnson County and Kansas City are taken on a contingency fee basis.

What is a contingency fee?

    A contingency fee means that our fee is not taken as an hourly wage, rather we are compensated out of the total recovery.  If we don't collect for you, then we don't get any compensation.  This gives our office an strong incentive to fight for every dollar you are entitled to.  We structure our fee in a tiered fashion - i.e. the contingency fee is less early on in the case and increases as we get closer to trial.  What this means is that you will only pay the maximum percentage if the case is tried - if it is settled early, our portion will be substantially less than many other area firms.
