Serious Accident Injury • Wrongful Death • Auto Collisions

The attorneys of Dempsey & Kingsland, P.C. focus solely on serious and catastrophic injury cases, including motor vehicle accidents, auto truck collisions, nursing home negligence, dangerous products and medical malpractice. We represent individuals who have been seriously injured by careless drivers, negligent corporations, and others who are indifferent to public safety. We apply decades of experience to help injured people secure the compensation they need and deserve.

Leaders in Injury Litigation

Over our twenty five year history we have obtained awards in a broad variety of serious injury and catastrophic injury cases. In recent years attorneys Leland Dempsey and Robert Kingsland have achieved results that have set both state and national records, including an award of $43,000,000 for an injured child who suffered a severe reaction to an MMR vaccination. The award is thought to be one of the largest settlements ever reached under the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. In 2007 Dempsey and Kingsland obtained a $5,000,000 settlement in a case involving a death caused when the driver of an over-the-road truck collided with a disabled motor vehicle on a Kansas City area highway. This was listed by Missouri Lawyers Weekly as one of the largest settlements in the state of Missouri that year. Many of these cases presented significant challenges, but we accomplished successful outcomes in the end.

Dempsey & Kingsland, P.C. is the largest medical malpractice presence in Kansas City, serving clients statewide in both Missouri and Kansas. We have held doctors, surgeons and hospitals accountable for birth injuries, brain injuries, surgical errors, diagnosis errors, medication mistakes and other negligence.

We represent people who suffered serious personal injury or lost a loved one because of negligence.
