When seeking out a Lawyer for an Automotive Personal Injury case my wife and I talked to several lawyers. Of those we landed on using Scott to handle our case. He was very professional and willing to help at all times. My wife is hard of hearing so it was important to me that we found someone patient. Scott was a perfect example of this. He was always willing to talk with us as many times as needed for clarification and understanding.
While the process to resolve our case took some time, Scott always took time to contact us and give us updates to make sure we knew things were still moving along. Once a settlement was reached Scott was there to explain all the details and make any recommendations we asked for, while not being overbearing.
In short I would recommend Scott to anyone as a caring and understanding Attorney that takes the time to listen.

I wouldn't know where to start with how thankful I am to The Goss Law Firm. Peter, Aimee, and everyone I have interacted with are incredibly friendly, helpful, and responsive. They've gone out of their way to make sure I am comfortable/relaxed when I feel frantic. They really do work so hard and on the off chance they miss my call, it's returned immediately and no question/concern is unreasonable.

I have been a practicing Obstetrician/Gynecologist in St. Joseph, MO for over 30 years. In 2003, I was involved in a lawsuit surrounding an injury my patient incurred from hospital equipment while in the hospital. Ms. Brown was my defending attorney in that case.
Ms. Brown demonstrated to me a wide grasp of the law; a respect for all aspects of a legal encounter; an honorable presence in the courtroom, and a tenacious attention to detail. She handled opposition witnesses and attorneys with respect. I have had the privilege to assist her in another legal encounter in which I served as a witness, and again, I observed a brilliant mind calmly at work, with a clear grasp of the essentials of the issues at hand. She also proved quick and agile in dealing with the ebb and flow in the courtroom. I highly respect her competence.

I have an early-stage internet-based company in Los Angeles. We were served with a frivolous lawsuit from a competitor based in KC, and found ourselves in need of local representation. Thank goodness we discovered Andy. He is personable, knowledgeable, familiar with the important moving pieces in KC, and very level-headed.
We took a deliberate, steady strategy with a difficult plaintiff, and in a (relatively) short time, prevailed in undoing what could have been a messy, costly litigation.
This is not my first time in a legal situation, and I can say without reservation that Andy instilled in his client a sense of confidence and competence, and the time he spent on our case was both appropriate and reasonable.
I would recommend Andy to represent my mother if she needed representation. He will take care of you.

I would highly recommend Leon Davis to represent you in any matter. Leon is very personable, knowledgeable, detail oriented and easy to contact. He took on my case and fought hard to resolve the matter with a tremendous outcome. Without having Leon on my side, I am certain my outcome would have taken a turn for the worst. Again, Leon is a great guy/lawyer and I would not have anyone else represent me if needed in the future.

Wish to highly recommend Nicholas Ruble and Megan Stumph-Turner for their excellent work during my recent contract lawsuit and employment mediation. Through a year of fact-finding, conflict negotiation, and client representation, they managed several particularly challenging issues with an impressive measure of professionalism and effectiveness. Their legal skill was equally matched by a unique blend of encouragement, good humor, and personal support.
This combination of technical skill and individual attention allowed me to focus on getting my life back in order - while they managed the intricacies of my case. I was very satisfied with the result, and I highly recommend their legal services for your contract, HR, or financial issues. Nick and Megan - thank you!

I was incredibly fortunate to have chosen this law firm to handle my employment-related case, with Megan R. Stumph-Turner and Nicholas S. Ruble representing me. Their profound impact has positively transformed my life.
From our initial conversation, their support and understanding were exceptional, significantly easing my burdens. They skillfully managed every detail of my case, providing a reassuring sense of security throughout. Megan and Nick bring a rare blend of diligence, intelligence, and tenacity to their work—qualities you might expect from characters in a movie.
What stood out the most was their absolute integrity. They were fully transparent, regularly updating me on both the progress of my case and the financial aspects involved. Their communication was flawless, ensuring I felt safe and at peace from the start, without the need for constant check-ins.
Their representation felt serendipitous, swiftly resolving a longstanding issue within months. My only regret is not hiring them sooner.
My confidence in this law firm is unshakeable for any future legal needs, and I eagerly await the chance to collaborate with Megan and Nick again should the occasion arise. They served as true guardian angels during a pivotal moment in my life, effecting a deep and meaningful transformation. Their unparalleled professionalism and sincere compassion have completely reshaped my expectations of legal services, establishing an exceptionally high standard.

What a Personal Injury Lawyer Can Do for You
A personal injury lawyer specializes in helping individuals who have been physically or emotionally injured due to the negligence or wrongful actions of another party. Whether you've been hurt in a car accident, suffered a slip and fall, or experienced medical malpractice, a personal injury attorney works to ensure you receive fair compensation for your injuries. They can help you recover damages for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other related expenses.
Personal injury lawyers act as your advocate, navigating the legal system on your behalf and dealing with insurance companies to ensure you get the compensation you deserve. They understand how to handle complex legal matters and help you avoid common pitfalls.
When Should I Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?
Hiring a personal injury lawyer can be beneficial in many situations where you've been harmed due to another's negligence. Some key scenarios include:
- Severe injuries: If you've suffered significant or permanent injuries that result in substantial medical bills, a lawyer can help ensure you are fairly compensated.
- Long-term or permanent disability: Injuries that affect your ability to work or require ongoing medical treatment are complex, and a lawyer can help estimate long-term damages.
- Disputed liability: If the responsible party or their insurance company denies liability for your injury, a lawyer can gather evidence and advocate on your behalf.
- Insurance company lowball offers: Insurers often try to settle personal injury claims for as little as possible. A lawyer can negotiate to get you a fair settlement.
- Medical malpractice claims: Injuries caused by a doctor, nurse, or healthcare provider due to negligence require a personal injury lawyer experienced in medical malpractice law.
- Exposure to hazardous substances: If you've been injured due to exposure to toxins, chemicals, or dangerous substances, a lawyer can help pursue legal action.
Hiring a lawyer early in the process is crucial, especially if you're unsure of the full extent of your injuries or damages.
What Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Do?
A personal injury lawyer provides a wide range of services to guide you through the legal process and maximize your compensation. They can:
- Evaluate your case: A lawyer will assess the strength of your claim and determine whether you have a viable case.
- Investigate the incident: Gathering evidence such as police reports, witness statements, medical records, and expert opinions is key to building a strong case.
- Negotiate with insurance companies: Lawyers handle communications with insurance companies to ensure you receive a fair settlement and aren't taken advantage of.
- File a lawsuit if necessary: If a fair settlement can't be reached, the lawyer can file a personal injury lawsuit on your behalf and represent you in court.
- Help calculate damages: This includes medical expenses, lost wages, future medical needs, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.
- Prepare and file legal documents: Lawyers handle all the paperwork and deadlines associated with your case, including filing motions and discovery requests.
- Represent you at trial: If your case goes to trial, the lawyer will argue your case before a judge and jury to obtain the compensation you deserve.
How Are Personal Injury Lawyers Paid?
Most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis. This means they only get paid if they win your case, either through settlement or a court judgment. Here’s how it works:
- Contingency fee percentage: The lawyer will take a percentage of the settlement or award, typically between 25% and 40%, depending on the complexity of the case and the stage at which it's resolved.
- Costs and expenses: In addition to the contingency fee, the lawyer may deduct other costs associated with the case, such as filing fees, expert witness fees, and court costs. These expenses are often advanced by the lawyer and repaid out of the settlement.
- No upfront payment: Since the lawyer’s fee is contingent on winning, you usually don’t pay anything upfront.
Always discuss the lawyer’s fee structure during your consultation to avoid surprises.
How Much Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a personal injury lawyer depends on the specifics of your case and the lawyer’s fee structure. However, since most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, the amount you pay will depend on the outcome of your case. Here are some general guidelines:
- Contingency fees: Typically range from 25% to 40% of the settlement or award. The percentage may increase if the case goes to trial or requires an appeal.
- Other costs: In addition to the lawyer's fee, you may be responsible for case-related expenses such as expert witness fees, medical record retrieval fees, and court costs. These are often deducted from your settlement, so you won't have to pay out of pocket.
While the cost may seem high, hiring an experienced lawyer can significantly increase the amount you recover, making it a worthwhile investment.
Top Questions to Ask a Personal Injury Lawyer
Before hiring a personal injury lawyer, it's essential to ask questions to ensure you’re choosing the right representation. Here are some important questions to ask:
-
What is your experience with personal injury cases like mine?
Make sure the lawyer has handled cases involving similar injuries or accidents. -
What is your fee structure?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges a contingency fee and what percentage they will take from any settlement or award. -
How long will my case take?
While it's hard to predict, a lawyer can give you an estimate based on similar cases they’ve handled. -
How often do you take cases to trial?
Some lawyers prefer to settle quickly, while others are more comfortable going to court if necessary. -
Will you personally handle my case?
In larger firms, junior lawyers or paralegals may handle some aspects of your case, so it's important to know who will be managing your claim. -
Do you have references from past clients?
Speaking with past clients can provide valuable insight into the lawyer’s effectiveness and professionalism.
How to Check the Credibility of a Personal Injury Lawyer
To ensure you’re hiring a credible personal injury lawyer, take the following steps:
- Check bar association records: Verify that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with your state’s bar association. Look for any history of disciplinary actions.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Online platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, and Google reviews can provide insight into the lawyer's reputation and client satisfaction.
- Look at their track record: Review their experience with personal injury cases, particularly how many cases they’ve successfully resolved or taken to trial.
- Ask for references: Credible lawyers should be willing to provide references from past clients who can vouch for their work.
- Check professional memberships: Lawyers who are members of respected organizations, like the American Association for Justice (AAJ), often have a solid reputation in the field.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first meeting with a personal injury lawyer, prepare the following:
- Detailed account of the accident: Write down everything you remember about the incident, including dates, times, and locations. Include any witnesses or police reports if available.
- Medical records and bills: Bring any documentation of your injuries, treatments, and associated medical costs.
- Insurance information: Provide your insurance details and any communication you’ve had with the other party’s insurance company.
- Employment and income records: If your injury has impacted your ability to work, bring proof of lost wages or reduced earning capacity.
- Photos or videos: If you have photos of the accident scene, your injuries, or property damage, bring them to your consultation.
- Questions for the lawyer: Prepare a list of questions to ask, including how the lawyer will handle your case and what you can expect in terms of timeline and outcome.
By preparing thoroughly for your first consultation, you’ll help the lawyer understand your case more quickly and get a better sense of your legal options.
