Missouri Personal Injury Law Firm

Serving the Kansas City Metro Area and Beyond

The accidental death of a loved one will turn your life upside down. It can also open the door to a wide range of questions and fears. How will I pay the bills? Who will take care of the children while I work? Who will mow the lawn? Questions like these and many others can be overwhelming. At Dempsey & Kingsland, P.C., our lawyers are dedicated to providing answers and obtaining awards and settlements for clients whose loved ones died as a result of negligence.

Our lawyers' many years of experience with these kinds of cases has shown us that a wrongful death can be the result of any type of injury. We have also learned that a wrongful death case is different from an injury case. For example, the client in these cases is not the deceased, who cannot testify; it is the eligible family members of the deceased. These basic differences mean that we go about gathering facts and developing the case differently. Not all personal injury attorneys know how to handle wrongful death cases; we do.

Call 816.421.6868 for a no-cost consultation. We have obtained substantial settlements and jury verdicts in wrongful death cases across the K.C. metro area.

Examples of Our Wrongful Death Cases

We have handled wrongful death cases of all types, including those resulting from birth injuries, vaccine injuries, nursing home falls and motor vehicle accidents. Although each case is different, what remains the same are the grief and loss our clients experience. We know that no legal action, however successful, is going to make them whole. If the case is successful, however, they will be able to obtain a measure of financial security and freedom from worry.

We invite you to contact us if a loved one died because of another's negligence. Our lawyers will learn about your case, discuss your options and guide you through the legal process. Call us in Kansas City at 816.421.6868.
