The History of the Downtown in Kansas City, Missouri
Kansas City got its start in the early 19th century when French fur traders started building cabins along the Missouri River. The town of Kansas was officially established in 1838, and within fifty years, the city was booming. In the 1930s, jazz found a home in Kansas City as several new nightclubs opened in the city.
Through the 1950s and 1960s, the city continued to expand and white citizens moved out to the suburbs. The effects of this white flight can still be felt in Downtown Kansas City today. Revitalization efforts have brought back some of the neighborhood’s former glory, and the city has won several global honors for projects built in the Downtown area.
The National WWI Museum and Memorial are popular among visitors and tourists, as is the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum. Legoland Discovery Center is popular among younger visitors to the neighborhood. And fans of the theater will love Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts and the Kansas City Ballet. Penn Valley Park also offers a variety of entertainment opportunities for visitors to the area.

Construction Accidents
Construction sites carry a variety of risks, and if you’re hurt on a job, you may have a hard time getting a fair settlement. Our lawyers will fight to get you the money you deserve for your pain and suffering. We’ll gather evidence in your case, negotiate with the corporate lawyers, and even take your case to court if needed.
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcyclists in Kansas City face even more dangers than car drivers. A staggering 80 percent of motorcycle accidents result in injuries or death, and motorcyclists are often blamed for their accidents. Our lawyers will defend you from these accusations and help you get the money you deserve.
Sexual Assault Cases
Sexual assault is horrifying, and fighting for justice can feel hopeless. Our lawyers will stand by your side and fight to prove your side of the story. We won’t rest until we get justice in your case, and we’ll make sure you get compensated for every wrong you suffered.
Truck Accidents
Trucks in Missouri can weigh as much as 80,000 pounds – about twenty times the weight of a normal car. Accidents with trucks can cause horrible injuries, and getting a fair settlement can often mean taking on a trucking company as well as the insurance giants. Our lawyers will go to bat for you and make sure you get the money you deserve.
Wrongful Death
Losing a loved one is always painful, but it can be almost unbearable if you know they didn’t have to die. A wrongful death compensation claim can help you cover your loved one’s final expenses and hold the person who caused their death accountable. Our lawyers will fight for justice in your case and make sure you get every penny you’re owed.
Damages Available in Downtown Kansas City Personal Injury Cases
There are three basic types of damages you may be able to get after a personal injury: economic, non-economic, and punitive.
Economic damages cover any losses that have an attached dollar value. This may include everything from lost wages and medical bills to property damage, loss of future earning potential, and more.
Non-economic damages may not have an inherent dollar value, but they’re no less valid. These damages may include pain and suffering, loss of companionship, mental anguish, emotional trauma, and so on.
Punitive damages are very rare to recover in a personal injury case. In order to get these damages, you have to be able to prove that a defendant acted in an especially heinous manner during the course of your accident.
What Does It Cost to Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer in Jackson County?
If you’re already drowning in medical bills and unable to work while you recover, you may wonder how much more a lawyer is going to set you back. How can you afford legal fees if you’re already struggling to cover your basic expenses?
The good news is that most lawyers work on a contingency basis. Rather than charging you legal fees up front, they’ll take their fee out of a portion of the settlement they recover for you. If they don’t recover any money in your case, you may not have to pay them a dime.
Statute of Limitations in Missouri Personal Injury Cases
In personal injury cases, you have a limited amount of time after an accident to file a claim. This time limit is called the statute of limitations, and after it passes, you won’t be able to get your claim heard in court. In Missouri, the statute of limitations on personal injury cases is five years.
In limited cases, you may be able to file a claim more than five years after an injury happened. If you don’t discover the full extent of the injury until later, you’ll have five years from the date of discovery to file a claim.
While five years may seem like a long time, it can go by faster than you think when you’re recovering from injuries and trying to get your life back on track. It’s best to talk to a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible after your accident to begin work on your case.
