Obtaining Compensation Following Alcohol-Related Car Crashes

Prior to the early 1990s, DUIs were rarely enforced on the street, and if they made it to court, they were little more than traffic tickets. Indeed, my own mother was hit by a drunk driver in the early 1980s. It was Christmas Eve, and the sheriff near the small town where we lived in […]

How Can You Stack Policies in Personal Injury Cases?

Your auto insurance policy coverage may be higher than you think, due to the ability to stack multiple insurance policies.  In fact, if you’re injured in an accident, and the other driver is at fault and has multiple policies, or the driver has multiple vehicles covered under one policy, stacking may be available.  Both Kansas […]

Understanding Auto Insurance: What If I’m Injured by Someone Without Insurance or Someone Who Flees the Scene?

In some situations, it is difficult or impossible to get the driver who injured you and caused your accident to pay for the damages they caused.
