Missouri recorded 955 traffic fatalities in 2024 per MoDOT. Kansas City traffic fatalities reached 87 in 2023 per Missouri State Highway Patrol STARS data. Missouri State Highway Patrol Troop A recorded 24 fatal crashes in 2024 across Jackson, Platte, and Clay counties — with Prospect Avenue, Troost Avenue, and I-435 near Blue Summit among the most dangerous locations per MSHP STARS data. US-71 through south Kansas City is one of the deadliest 7.8-mile highway stretches in the region according to MSHP crash analysis data. Insurance companies begin working to minimize what they pay you immediately after a crash. TopDog fights to get you every dollar you deserve.
From Prospect Avenue and Troost Avenue through the East Side to US-71 through south Kansas City to I-435 through Blue Summit — we know where Kansas City's most dangerous crashes happen and how to build a case around them. When our clients end up at Truman Medical Center after a serious crash, we know what that treatment means for the value of your case. Those accidents cause real damage to Kansas City families and we fight to get injured people the care and money they deserve.
Insurance companies operating across Kansas City and Jackson County often use delay, deny, and lowball tactics from the moment your claim comes in. KCATA/RideKC bus or Kansas City government vehicle cases require written notice under the Missouri Tort Claims Act. We know how to leverage the justice system in Jackson County Circuit Court to fight back for what you may be owed.
IMPORTANT MISSOURI LEGAL INFORMATION — CAR ACCIDENTS
Statute of Limitations: 5 years from the accident date — RSMo § 516.120(4).
Government Vehicle (Critical): If a KCATA bus, City of Kansas City vehicle, or any government entity vehicle was involved, written notice must be filed within 90 days of the accident for premises-related claims (RSMo § 82.210). Consult an attorney immediately — government claims have strict procedural requirements and damages are capped.
At-Fault State: Missouri is NOT a no-fault state. The at-fault driver's insurance is responsible for your damages. You do not file first with your own insurer as in no-fault states.
Pure Comparative Fault: Missouri follows pure comparative fault — RSMo § 537.765. You can recover even if you were 99% at fault, but your award is reduced by your fault percentage. Insurance companies will work hard to assign you the highest fault percentage possible to reduce their payout.
Insurance Minimums: $25,000 per person / $50,000 per accident bodily injury / $25,000 property damage — RSMo § 303.190. Uninsured motorist (UM) coverage also required. Many at-fault drivers carry only minimum coverage.
This is a brief summary of commonly applied laws in the jurisdiction. There are often different laws that apply to different circumstances. Once you hire TopDog, your attorney will advise you on the applicable laws.
Insurance companies may make early low offers because they count on most people not knowing what their case is worth under Missouri law. They may delay, deny, and lowball — counting on financial pressure. TopDog fights for the full recovery.
