Serving Olathe Accident Victims
Olathe is the county seat of Johnson County, Kansas — the most populous county in the state — with a population of roughly 145,000 residents. As a major hub in the KC metro, Olathe sits at the intersection of I-35 and K-10, two of the busiest corridors in the region. Heavy commuter and commercial truck traffic along these highways means accidents are an everyday reality for Olathe residents.
Many KC metro accidents involve cross-state travel between Kansas and Missouri, creating questions about which state's laws apply and where to file a claim. Attorney Mark Taran — licensed in Missouri (Bar #70594) — evaluates these cases and connects accident victims with experienced trial attorneys who handle claims in the applicable jurisdiction. Whether your accident happened on I-35 heading into Missouri, on K-10 near the Olathe interchange, or anywhere else in the metro, Mark ensures you get the right legal team for your situation.
Your initial case evaluation is completely free, and you never pay anything unless compensation is recovered on your behalf.

Common Questions from Olathe Residents
My accident happened in Kansas but the other driver is from Missouri. Which state's laws apply?
Cross-state accidents are extremely common in the KC metro. Generally, the laws of the state where the accident occurred govern the claim. Mark Taran evaluates these cases and connects you with trial attorneys experienced in the applicable jurisdiction — whether Kansas or Missouri — so you have the right legal team regardless of where the collision happened.
Is the case evaluation really free?
Yes. Mark personally reviews every case at no cost and with no obligation. If you have a viable claim, he connects you with experienced trial attorneys who work on contingency — meaning you pay nothing unless compensation is recovered on your behalf.
How does the contingency fee work?
There are no upfront costs or hourly fees. The attorney is paid a percentage of the compensation recovered. If no money is recovered, you owe nothing. This ensures your legal team is fully motivated to maximize your result.
How long do I have to file a claim after an accident?
It depends on where the accident occurred. In Kansas, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is two years from the date of the accident (K.S.A. 60-513). In Missouri, it is five years (RSMo 516.120). Either way, evidence degrades quickly — contact us for a free evaluation as soon as possible after your accident.
Do I need to travel to your office for a consultation?
No. We handle everything by phone and email for clients throughout the Kansas City metro area. You will not need to travel unless your case goes to court.
