Brain Injuries

Kansas City Brain Injury Litigation Attorneys

If you or a family member has suffered a brain injury, you need a lawyer who has training and experience in handling these cases. Brain injuries present some very specific issues with respect to diagnosis and litigation. Your lawyer needs to understand brain injury cases and have access to experts who can explain it to a jury. This is especially true with closed head injuries, where the effects may be more subtle and difficult to diagnose, but no less serious.

At Randy W. James & Associates in Kansas City, Missouri, we have dedicated our law practice to the representation of people who have suffered catastrophic losses such as brain injury. For our clients, we have collected several multimillion dollar awards, including:

• $25 million for a respiratory therapist who suffered a brain injury in the crash of a Life Flight helicopter.
• $15 million for a tire serviceman for Anderson Tire Service who suffered severe brain injuries when a Goodyear multi-piece wheel rim assembly explosively separated.
• $13 million for a man who suffered brain injuries when a Firestone multi-piece wheel assembly mounted on a school bus explosively separated.
• $9 million for a young man who was brain injured by the explosion of a Goodyear multi-piece truck wheel.
• $5.5 million for a child who suffered brain damage when he was struck in the head by a Kelsey-Hayes tire rim which came off a pickup truck.

Our lawyers oversee a life-care evaluation of the brain injury victim. This evaluation looks at what the victim has suffered and what his or her life-care needs will be from now until the end of life. These evaluations can be very complex. Brain injury victims, because of their physical challenges, can expect a shortened life expectancy if they don't receive the kind of care they need. By creating a life-care plan, we can ensure that the needs of our clients are properly identified.

Our lawyers do more than handle brain injury litigation. We have ongoing relationships with organizations that provide research and support for people who have suffered a brain injury, including the Brain Injury Association of Kansas and Greater Kansas City.

Contingency Fee Representation

Our attorneys represent brain injury victims on a contingency fee basis. We invest our time, our efforts, and our money purely with the objective of making a recovery for you or your family. Only if you recover damages do we collect fees for our time and efforts. The costs and expenses that we have advanced to prove your case will be reimbursed to us only if you recover. You have no liability for costs or expenses unless a court directs otherwise. This system, which is unique to the American justice system, makes it possible for our clients – citizens like you – to stand toe to toe with the world’s largest corporations and insurance companies.
