Kansas City’s Personal Injury Lawyer

In many cases, injury victims can lose the ability to work and support their families. You might be concerned about future medical needs and expenses that are a direct result of your injury, caused by the negligence of another.

A wrongful death claim can be considered when a person dies as the result of another person’s actions. A wrongful death suit is different from other types of personal injury claims because it is brought by the family members of the deceased victim. These cases are filed to recover damages in the form of compensation to provide emotional and financial relief for the loss the family has endured as a direct result of the death of their loved one.

We aggressively pursue personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits, and we offer free investigations into these cases for individuals like you. No payment is required until compensation is collected on your behalf. If you or a loved one has suffered due to the actions of another person, we’re here to help.

Give us a call at 816.307.2788; the road to recovery starts today.

At Preuss | Foster, we have two fundamental goals …

01The first is to help you rebuild your life. If you were injured or are grieving the death of a loved one, it can completely shatter your life. You may not be able to work, you will experience stress, medical bills will accumulate, and insurance companies will call you and send you mountains of paperwork. The insurance company will be trying to get you to state something against your interest so that they can escape responsibility. We know that when someone suffers a serious injury, it has a rippling effect on all areas of that individual’s life. Your marriage is affected. Your employment is affected. Your ability to enjoy your daily life is affected. You are suffering because someone else did the wrong thing, with minimal regard to how their actions may affect innocent people.
When we work together to rebuild your life, we focus on getting you both the medical care and financial compensation that you need.

02Our second fundamental goal is to work with you to change the system. That has been a hallmark of Preuss | Foster since day one. Our clients do not only want to rebuild their lives. They want us to tirelessly advocate and send a message to the insurance companies and large businesses that certain conduct is not acceptable. We want to be the voice for our clients and force the wrongdoers to make changes so that another family will never have to experience the same loss and pain. As your lawyers, we will force companies and industries to change their practices, so other people do not have to go through what you did. When you bring a lawsuit and expose the wrongdoer, you are not only helping your family, but you are serving the community. You, standing up for your rights does not only guarantee you a form of justice, but it will have a lasting effect within our community.

Our Approach

Preuss | Foster cares about you.

Don't hesitate to let us navigate your legal needs.
