Serving Lee's Summit Accident Victims
Lee's Summit is the 6th largest city in Missouri, located in the heart of the Kansas City metropolitan area in Jackson County. The I-470 and US-50 corridors that run through and around the city carry heavy commercial and commuter traffic every day — and when serious accidents happen, victims are left dealing with insurance companies whose sole goal is to minimize payouts.
Attorney Mark Taran — licensed in Missouri (Bar #70594) — personally evaluates every case from the Lee's Summit and KC metro area. He understands the dynamics of high-traffic suburban corridors, the Jackson County courts, and what it takes to build a strong personal injury claim. Consultations are handled remotely by phone and video, so there is no need to travel to our Kennett office. Your consultation is free, and you never pay anything unless you win.

Common Questions from Lee's Summit Residents
How long do I have to file a claim in Missouri?
Missouri's statute of limitations is 5 years from the date of your accident (RSMo § 516.120). However, you should not wait — evidence disappears fast, and witnesses become harder to locate over time.
Do I need to travel to Kennett for a consultation?
No. We handle everything by phone, email, and video for clients throughout the Kansas City metro, including Lee's Summit. Remote consultations are available at times that work with your schedule. You won't need to travel unless your case goes to court.
What if the accident was partly my fault?
Missouri uses pure comparative fault — you can still recover compensation even if you were partially responsible. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault, but you do not lose your claim entirely.
How much does it cost?
Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee — you pay only if we recover money for you. The initial consultation is free, and there are no surprise charges.
