Mark's Core Focus

Mark built his practice around the cases where the money is real.

Commercial semis are required by federal law to carry up to $5 million in liability insurance. When a truck hits you, that policy is available to compensate your injuries, lost wages, and suffering. Mark's practice on the I-55 corridor means he knows exactly how to go after it.

The Full Story

Why Mark Became a Personal Injury Attorney

Mark Taran has been a personal injury attorney at Taran & Associates, P.C. since the firm was founded in Kennett, Missouri in 2018. After years of representing accident victims across southeastern Missouri, he built a practice centered on one principle: every client deserves direct access to their attorney — not a paralegal, not a call center.

Personal injury cases are often the most stressful moment in a person's life. People are injured, facing mounting medical bills, unable to work, and being pressured by insurance adjusters who have one job: minimize the payout. Mark's approach is different — he makes himself available to clients from the first call through resolution, reviewing the facts of every case personally.

His practice focuses on truck accidents along the I-55 corridor, car accidents, and wrongful death claims. He serves clients across Missouri, southern Illinois, eastern Arkansas, and the Tennessee border. Based in Kennett, Mark has deep roots in southeastern Missouri and understands the communities he serves — from St. Louis to Kennett, from Cape Girardeau to Springfield.

Affiliated Trial Attorney

Dan Grimm

Here's how it works: Mark Taran evaluates every case that comes through Red Carpet Legal. When a truck accident case is worth millions, it goes directly to Dan — an affiliated trial attorney, not a staff lawyer. The referral model is transparent. The results speak for themselves.

When a family calls me, they don't get a paralegal — they get me. I review every case personally. When I take on a case, I treat it like my own family's future is on the line. Because for that person, it is.
