The Law Offices of J. Johnson, LLC

A serious Kansas City injury & wrongful death law firm

Aggressive, professional, & personal legal representation for auto accident crash injuries suffered on Kansas City & Johnson County area highways including 435, I-69, I-35, 71, I-29, 670, K7, and K10

Auto accidents on highways such as I-35, 435, I-70, 670, etc. are much more likely to result in serious and potentially devastating injuries when compared to auto accidents on side streets due to the higher speeds that are present on highways and the potential for rapid slowdowns which can lead to tremendous collisions when an inattentive driver fails to stop or slow their vehicle.

Highway auto wrecks are also more likely to involve commercial vehicles such as heavy trucks, 18 wheelers, semi-trailers, and semi-trailer double-combination vehicles.  Any time a commercial vehicle is involved in a collision with a passenger car, the occupants of the passenger vehicle are in extreme danger.  

Statistics from the National Highway Transportation Safety Agency (“NHTSA”) show that the occupants of a passenger vehicle are 8 times more likely to be killed in a collision with a commercial vehicle or heavy truck than if in a collision with another passenger vehicle.  For more information about commercial vehicle, 18 wheeler, and heavy truck highway accidents, visit our webpage on that topic.

The attorneys and staff members in our law office understand the effects that a Kansas City or Johnson County auto accident can have on those involved and those around them and we truly care about our clients

The attorneys and staff at the Law Offices of Jeremiah Johnson, LLC, understand the tremendous effects that an auto accident on area highways can have on those involved as well as their loved ones and those around them.  We know that involvement in an accident resulting in death or serious injury can lead to difficulties not only for those involved, but for their families, friends, co-workers, and acquaintances.  

The attorneys and staff in our office constantly strive to maintain excellent communication with our clients.  We regularly send our personal injury and wrongful death clients copies of important court documents and pleadings as well as correspondence regarding the case.  We are always happy to meet with our clients to go over important developments or to simply answer questions they may have.

More importantly, at the Law Offices of Jeremiah Johnson, we answer the phone when our clients call.  You’ve probably heard people complain that they “cant get their attorney to call me back.”  We don’t play that game.  If the personal injury attorneys in this office are in the office, our staff is instructed to send our calls through, not to simply state we “are not available.”  We return most calls within a few hours and nearly every call will be returned within 24 hours.  

To further demonstrate our commitment to our clients, we even give our personal injury and wrongful death clients the personal cell phone numbers and email addresses of the attorneys and our office manager.

Our attorneys understand the complexities and issues present in highway collisions occurring in Kansas and Missouri.

Successfully litigating Kansas and Missouri highway collision cases is no easy task and requires a law firm that understands the complexities and physics involved in these collisions.  For instance, if you have a wrongful death or personal injury case resulting from a wreck on I-35, it is advantageous to hire an attorney who has contacts with accident reconstructionists who can determine speeds, positions, and actions of the vehicles involved in the collision.  

You want a lawyer who has ties with medical professionals who can accurately diagnose and estimate medical injuries from the highway collision.

A good personal injury attorney should also be able to understand the medical issues involved in certain types of cases.  Our personal injury lawyers have experience with burn cases, Kansas City auto accidents resulting in serious back or neck injuries, Kansas City car wrecks resulting in permanent disability, Kansas City auto collisions and rollovers resulting in concussions or serious head injuries, Feel free to check out our specific web pages with more information about other injuries resulting from Kansas City auto accident injuries such as paralyzation, loss of consciousness, and other serious injuries.

Our law office is not too big and not too small

We believe that our office is just the right size for effectively pursuing personal injury and wrongful death cases, while continuing to treat clients with the respect and compassion they deserve.

As law firms grow in size, it becomes difficult for them to continue to provide personal service to their personal injury and wrongful death clients.  In fact, in some large law firms litigating personal injury cases, it can be difficult for the staff and attorneys not assigned to a particular case to even remember the names of their clients.

On the other hand, if a personal injury law firm does not have the appropriate resources to properly litigate Kansas City & Johnson County wrongful death and personal injury cases, their clients interests could be adversely affected.  Litigating high-value wrongful death and personal injury cases takes a tremendous amount of time and, in most cases, money.  It can be tough for a solo practitioner to adequately fund such cases, which can easily involve hundreds of thousands of dollars in expenses and countless hours of attorney and staff time.

The Law Offices of Jeremiah Johnson, LLC strives to treat every client with respect in every thing we do.  The attorneys and staff in our office are usually on a first name basis with our personal injury and wrongful death clients and we usually get to know our clients individually, beyond just the information needed to effectively pursue their cases.  We believe our size is a major part of our ability to provide such personal legal representation to our wrongful death and personal injury clients.

Our law firm’s staff and personal injury attorneys have successfully represented Kansas City & Johnson County area drivers seriously injured on I-35 and the families of Kansas City area drivers killed on I-35

While past results can never be used as a predictor of future results, we believe that a personal injury law firm’s experience can be a useful factor when deciding which lawyers are right for your wrongful death or personal injury case.

This law firm has secured policy limits settlements on Kansas City area fatality accidents involving commercial vehicles.  We have litigated wrongful death auto accidents in several Kansas Counties, in both District and Federal Court.  We have taken cases to a jury and we have settled cases without the need for trial.

Our past wrongful death and personal injury experience has given the lawyers and staff in this law office the tools to thoroughly evaluate and litigate wrongful death and personal injury cases resulting from collisions on Kansas City & Johnson County highways and streets.

Further, our past and present clients have repeatedly provided us with positive feedback stating that they appreciate the hard work we put in on their cases and they appreciate our availability and down to earth lawyering style.  

An example of a recent wrongful death case handled by our office:  The wrongful death lawyers in this law office recently secured a policy limits settlement on behalf of the family of a Kansas City man killed in an accident in Olathe, KS involving a commercial vehicle with a gross vehicle weight of over 80,000 pounds.  This fatality accident took place on I35 in Olathe, KS.  During the discovery process, we were able to demonstrate a number of defects present in the commercial vehicle that contributed to the cause and severity of the accident.

First, we were able to demonstrate that the commercial vehicle’s brakes were faulty in a number of different ways, including leaking air lines, poor brake balance, a defective compressor, and several other problems.  We argued that these defects contributed to the cause and the severity of the collision which resulted in the death of a Kansas City, Kansas man.  

We were also able show that the commercial vehicle had a faulty windscreen which may have limited it’s driver’s visibility to see other vehicles and react to events on I35 as he traveled through Gardner and Olathe during rush hour.

We further demonstrated that the driver of the commercial vehicle had not been properly trained, had very little experience on the type of vehicle he was driving, and did not have the proper license endorsements to drive the extremely heavy commercial vehicle.  Experience counts, and this driver did not appear to know how to properly control his vehicle in an emergency situation.  

Finally, we demonstrated that the company who owned the commercial vehicle had not obtained the proper permits to operate it on I35 during rush hour.

This law firm’s staff and personal injury lawyers have successfully secured policy limits settlements for clients injured in rollovers and other accidents on I-35 and other Kansas and Missouri highways
