Car Accidents

Most drivers expect that others around them on the road are driving carefully to avoid accidents. Unfortunately, this is not always true.

If you were injured in a car accident, hiring legal representation should be the first step you take after receiving medical care. The firm you choose can make a significant difference in the outcome of your case, should you decide to file a personal injury claim against the negligent party who caused your accident.

At Brumley Law Office, we have more than 26 years of experience fighting for our clients’ rights and pursuing compensation. We represent a wide range of car accident claims, including:

Trucking Accidents

Trucking accidents are one of the most damaging types of motor vehicle accidents due to the size and weight of commercial trucks. Negligent truck drivers who don’t follow their regulations and laws of the road can cause preventable accidents which lead to severe injuries. Regulations have been put in place for commercial trucking companies and drivers to try to make the roads safer for other drivers. This includes how many hours they can drive, how much rest they must get, and how cargo should be loaded. However, many trucking companies push their employees to meet deadlines or get to their destinations faster, causing them to break the law and drive recklessly.

Drunk Driving Accidents

It is illegal to get behind the wheel when you are intoxicated, but this does not stop some drivers from doing so. Although it may seem obvious that a drunk driver would be held responsible for your injuries and have to compensate you, this is not always the case. Insurance companies and the responsible parties often have strong representation and try to get out of their obligations.

We believe that there’s no room for a drunk driver to get away with their actions. In addition to the driver, we may work to hold other parties responsible.

Distracted Driving Accidents

In the state of Kansas, distracted driving is becoming more and more of a problem every year. People and families are experiencing heartbreaking losses of loved ones and friends as a result of drivers attending to their texts and not watching the road. This loss of life is not only tragic, it is preventable under the law.

At the Brumley Law Office, we have studied and possess a keen understanding of the law when it comes to distracted driving and use that knowledge to the benefit of our clients. The state of Kansas defines distracted driving (illegal activity) as:

• Texting from any wireless communication device while in a vehicle on a public road or highway (even if your car is stopped in traffic or at a light or stop sign).
• Young drivers – those with a Learner’s Permit – using any device for any reason and becoming distracted while driving.

There are, however, provisions to these laws that include exceptions for law enforcement, emergency communications, reporting crimes, and receiving navigation directions. It is important to know these distinctions at all times when you are operating your vehicle to avoid penalties such as:

• Fines
• Suspension of Driving Privileges
• Court Costs & Attorney’s Fees
• Increased Insurance Rates
• And more…

Brumley Law Office can help.

When you talk to our attorneys about your unique case, we can give you the legal insight you need to avoid the aforementioned punishments, or hold other parties responsible for their negligence. Let us use our unique knowledge of distracted driving to win your case, and give you the justice you deserve.
