“I Would Suggest That Anyone Needing Representation After Being Hurt in an Accident Use Their Firm.”
I thought that I was taken care of as if I was a friend and not by someone I had never even met. Whenever I was feeling down and things just felt like they couldn't have been worse that day, I could always email Tom and he was always there to help me through whatever I was going through....and I had a lot of hard days emotionally for me. I am so blessed that they were representing me through all this. I feel like things turned out the best that they could of for me in total. I would suggest that anyone needing representation after being hurt in an accident use their firm. I thank GOD that they were the ones there for me after the accident.

Let Ralston, Pope & Diehl Fight for You

Throughout our century’s worth of total personal injury case experience, we have built not only our impressive knowledge of Kansas injury law, but also our reputation as a no-nonsense law firm. Insurance companies from all corners know we carefully build our cases for maximum legal validity, support our clients’ claims with strong evidence and solid arguments, and never accept anything other than a fair and maximized recovery amount on their behalves. It is our attention to detail and fighting spirit that have enabled us to reach favorable case resolutions for our clients in all manners of injury claims, time and again. When you want insight, compassion, and unmatched legal ability, look no further than our personal injury lawyers in Topeka.

Don’t Wait to File a Claim

According to the Kansas Statutes section, 60-513 the statute of limitations on personal injury cases in Kansas is two years. This means you have two years from the date of your injury to file a claim or you may lose your right to recover compensation. Kansas does have some exceptions where the statute of limitations can be extended. An attorney from our firm can let you know if you qualify for an extension to the statute of limitations.

Damages Available in a Personal Injury Case

There are three types of damages available for injury victims to pursue in a personal injury case, economic, non-economic and punitive damages. The first two damages can be grouped together as “compensatory damages.” Compensatory damages are responsible for compensating the injured party for as many losses as possible. Among other things, these losses include:

Past and future medical expenses
Past or future lost wages
Mental anguish
Pain and suffering

The last type of damages, punitive damages, differ from compensatory damages in that their main purpose is to act as a punishment against the negligent party instead of compensating the injured party for a specific loss.

Work with a team that cares about your future and well-being. Contact our office today to schedule a free consultation and get started on your case.

Should I Hire an Attorney for My Personal Injury Case?

Unlike insurance companies, Ralston, Pope & Diehl, LLC are true advocates on your side, fighting for your best interest every step of the way. Insurance companies on the other hand, are looking out for their company’s profit, not what you need to recover well after an accident. On top of that, many people find that their injuries become more severe days or weeks after they sustain them. If you accept an insurance settlement before you know how serious your injuries are, you may find your settlement amount no longer covers all your medical expenses. An attorney from our firm can fight to protect your rights and help you recover the compensation you deserve so you can focus on recovering.

Securing Victories with Thorough Casework

There is plenty within a personal injury claim that requires a keen eye for detail and a comprehensive understanding of liability laws. By retaining the legal services of our injury attorneys, you can remove both the guesswork and the legwork from your case while also reducing your own stress. We like knowing that our clients can rest, recuperate, and feel confident in our abilities to develop their claim and act on their behalves.

We Handle Each Case with Thorough Dedication By:

Investigating collected physical evidence.
Reviewing eyewitness accounts.
Analyzing doctor’s notes and medical records.
Looking for holes in the defendant’s statements.

The end goal is minimizing or altogether eliminating your liability for your injuries. In doing so, we can maximize how much compensation you can collect.
