Catastrophic Injuries

Severe and Permanent Injury

A lawsuit for a catastrophic injury must cover the massive medical costs. It must anticipate special care needs and rehabilitation. It has to forecast lost income. It should address the pain, suffering and lost enjoyment of life.

The experienced Kansas City, Missouri lawyers of Dempsey & Kingsland, P.C. know there is just one opportunity to procure compensation for a lifetime of needs. We take a comprehensive approach to permanent injury cases to ensure that our clients and their families receive the full and fair damages they will need for the years ahead.

When Experience Counts the Most

The value of an experienced personal injury trial lawyer increases with the seriousness of the injuries. Any attorney can get a settlement when the words "brain damage" or "paralyzed" are in play. But will that settlement still pay for needed surgery 10 years down the road? Will it cover a specially outfitted van, 24-hour nursing care or expensive meds to manage the chronic pain?

With 50 years of combined experience, law partners Leland Dempsey and Robert Kingsland have helped countless clients maximize their damages for a permanent injury. They are recognized as leaders in the field of medical malpractice litigation, and have handled cases of life-changing injuries from auto accidents or motorcycle accidents.

Insurance companies will dispute many elements of damages. Juries can be reluctant to hand down big verdicts. Dempsey & Kingsland works with a wide network of professionals to prove the negligence and demonstrate how the injury has drastically altered our client's life. We commonly hire accident reconstructionists, life care planners, economists, medical experts and vocational rehabilitation specialists to help calculate your needs and justify every dollar we seek in compensation.
