Personal Injury & Wrongful Death

Kansas City Personal Injury Attorney

At the law office of Randy W. James & Associates in Metropolitan Kansas City, Missouri, we have dedicated our law practice to the representation of people who have suffered serious injuries or the wrongful death of a loved one due to the negligence of another party. For our clients, we have collected significant personal injury awards, including some of the largest in Missouri history, including:

  • $26 million for the family of a couple killed in the crash of a Cessna aircraft in Charlotte, North Carolina.
  • $25 million for a respiratory therapist on a Life Flight helicopter which crashed while transporting a patient to St. Luke's hospital in Kansas City, Missouri.
  • $15 million for a Colorado man who suffered severe brain injuries when a Goodyear multi-piece wheel rim assembly explosively separated.
  • $13 million for a Missouri man severely injured by the explosion of an RH5° multi-piece truck rim manufactured by Firestone and The Budd Company.
  • A confidential settlement for a Kansas City man who was run over and killed by a municipal dump truck at a dump site owned an operated by Waste Management, Inc.
  • A confidential settlement for a six-year old child in Weston, Missouri, who suffered severe vision problems when he was struck in the eye and severely injured by a jump rope swung by another child. The jump rope, imported by Bollinger and sold by Wal-Mart had a metallic, springlike handle attachment that could be easily deformed such that it exposed a sharp protruding point.
  • $715,000 for a young woman who was raped by an intruder in what was supposed to be a secure area of her apartment building.
  • $387,500 for a customer in a Sam’s Club store in Lenexa, Kansas, who suffered spinal cord injuries when a large pallet of merchandise fell from atop one of the merchandise storage racks.

Contingency Fee Representation

Our personal injury lawyers represent injured clients and family members of wrongful death 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.

The contingency fee system gives access to the legal system that the average person wouldn't otherwise have. 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.
