Trucking Accident Attorneys That Fight for You!

Kansas City Trucking Accident Attorneys Richard James and Dustin DeVaughnThe aftermath of a trucking accident can be overwhelming, especially considering the complex nature of these cases. At DeVaughn James Injury Lawyers, our dedicated team of Kansas City truck accident attorneys is here to guide you through the process and fight for the compensation you deserve.

Understanding Trucking Accidents:

Unlike accidents involving two passenger vehicles, trucking accidents often involve multiple parties, including the truck driver, trucking company, and possibly others. Our experienced attorneys understand the complexities of these cases and will work tirelessly to identify all responsible parties and hold them accountable for their actions.

Preserving Vital Evidence:

Building a strong case for compensation requires preserving vital data and evidence from the scene of the accident. Our team knows the importance of securing evidence such as:

  • Truck driver records (training, employment, medical, drug and alcohol testing, previous accidents)
  • Maintenance records of the truck
  • Operational logs detailing hours of operation, stops, and breaks
  • Truck cockpit camera footage
  • Mobile phone records of the truck driver
  • Black box recorder data (speed, direction, engine performance)

We will aggressively pursue access to this evidence and ensure it is properly preserved to support your case.

Common Trucking Violations Leading to Accidents

Trucking accidents are often caused by violations of state and federal regulations. Some common violations include:

  • Driver fatigue: Long hours on the road without adequate rest can impair a driver's ability to react to hazards.
  • Speeding: Exceeding the speed limit increases the risk of losing control, especially for large commercial vehicles.
  • Improper maintenance: Neglecting maintenance can lead to mechanical failures such as brake failure or tire blowouts.
  • Driver distractions: Texting, phone calls, eating, or adjusting the radio can divert a driver's attention from the road.
  • Drug and alcohol use: Impaired driving poses a serious risk to everyone on the road.

How We Can Help:

Our experienced team has a proven track record of success in handling all types of trucking accidents, including those involving semi-trucks, 18-wheelers, cargo trucks, and more. We understand state and federal trucking regulations inside and out and work with top accident reconstruction engineers to build strong cases for our clients.

If you ever have a question about whether u have a case in your accident call devaughn James 1st. Their fees are reasonable and the staff is super friendly and they really know their stuff. This was my 2nd case with them and they have been absolutely wonderful. They negotiated my bills down so low and got me a settlement that is allowing me to go see my 1st grandchild for the first time for the holidays, weeks before they thought they could. Dakota was my attorney, man u are so amazing and your assistant Laura was always willing to answer any questions I had. They whole crew just absolutely wonderful. Thanks to Karen here in Kansas City for always being a smiling face, u don't know how that warms my heart. And for every one in Wichita that accommodated the transfers and travels to Kansas City after my move here, u all dont know how much headache u took away from me. From the bottom of my heart, y'all changed my life this year. Happy Thanksgiving and merry Christmas to everyone.

Kansas City's Frequently Asked Questions From Personal Injury Victims

How Much Does it cost to hire DeVaughn James Injury Lawyers in Kansas City?

Our personal injury firm works on a contingency fee basis, which means that we don’t get paid unless you get paid. With our “No Fee Guarantee” you pay nothing unless we win or settle your case.

If you were involved in an accident but didn’t suffer any injuries or damages, you may not need an attorney’s help. However, if you or someone you love has suffered injuries due to another’s person negligence, you may need an attorney to protect your rights. Insurance companies are in business to make money, and sometimes they deny valid claims and try to push early and unjust settlements on innocent accident victims. They may use low-ball offers to drag out claims until you settle. If you’ve been hurt in an accident, the Kansas City personal injury attorneys at DeVaughn James are here to help. Contact us at (816) 999-9999 or visit our office at 10450 Holmes Rd #110, Kansas City, MO 64131.

  • Remain calm and contact the Kansas City police or proper authorities.
  • Seek medical attention if needed.
  • Do not admit fault or apologize.
  • Take photos of the scene, damage, and injuries.
  • Contact a Kansas City car accident attorney.

The negligent party may be held financially responsible for your property damage, pain and suffering, medical expenses, lost wages, and more.

Car insurance requirements vary by state, and Kansas and Missouri have their own specific requirements that drivers must meet. If you’re a driver in either state, make sure that you have the minimum required coverage to comply with state laws. It’s also a good idea to consider optional coverage to protect yourself and your car in case of an accident.

While both Kansas and Missouri follow a fault system for car accidents, there are significant differences in how fault is determined, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims, damages, and insurance requirements.
