Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a product liability lawyer cost in Kansas City?
Dickerson Oxton works on a contingency fee basis for product liability cases in Kansas City. You pay no upfront costs or attorney fees, and we only get paid if we win your case. This allows injured victims to pursue justice without financial risk.
What is the average settlement for a defective product case in Missouri?
Product liability settlements in Missouri vary widely based on injury severity, from $10,000 for minor injuries to over $1 million for catastrophic harm like paralysis or wrongful death. Economic damages such as medical bills and lost wages, non-economic damages such as pain and suffering, and punitive damages all factor into case value. A free case evaluation determines your claim’s potential worth.
Can I sue if I signed a product waiver?
Yes, in most cases. Waivers and product disclaimers do not eliminate a manufacturer’s liability for design defects, manufacturing defects, or failure to warn of known dangers. Missouri law protects consumers from unsafe products regardless of contractual language. An experienced product liability attorney can evaluate whether a waiver affects your specific claim.
