Kansas Personal Injury Lawyer



Personal injury is the term used to describe bodily injuries sustained from a wide variety of causes, not all of which are accidental. Motor vehicle injury cases are the single most common type of personal injury cases, but there are a multitude of others. Personal injury cases also include cases where the harm was intentional such as battery, sexual assault, and some cases of wrongful death.
