Back Injury & Neck Injuries in Kansas City

Kansas City Back and/or Neck Injury from a Car Accident in Kansas City, MO

Have you sustained a back or neck injury from a car, truck or SUV accident in Kansas City, Missouri? Unfortunately back and neck injuries are all too common given the seriousness of accidents.

– Vehicle depreciation value (vehicles in accidents sell for less than a those without a collision on their record)
– Lost wages if unemployed for a period of time
– Loss of future income (either partial or complete loss of employment)

– Medical Expenses (previous and future estimated costs)
– Any special economic losses due to the timing or any other factors from the injury
