Fighting for accountability after tragedy.

Our firm has handled some of the most complex and heartbreaking cases in Missouri — including:

The 2018 Table Rock Lake Duck Boat Disaster — where 17 passengers, including nine members of one family, drowned after a tour boat entered the water despite severe weather warnings. Video evidence showed the lake was calm when the boat began its tour, but hurricane-force winds struck minutes later. The National Transportation Safety Board later identified the vessel’s overhead canopy as a deadly design flaw that trapped passengers as it sank. In the wake of that tragedy, new Coast Guard regulations now require the removal or redesign of canopies and the use of life vests on older vessels.
The 2021 Kansas City Fire Truck Crash — when a KCFD pumper truck ran a red light at 51 mph in a 35 zone at Broadway and Westport Road, colliding with a Honda CR-V and killing three innocent people: Jennifer San Nicolas, Michael Elwood, and pedestrian Tami Knight. The crash occurred just moments after the fire crew received a stand-down order they did not hear. Investigators found that the truck was traveling well above safe speed limits through a crowded urban intersection — a preventable tragedy that demanded accountability.
Severe highway and trucking collisions — including rear-end crashes that cause paraplegia, quadriplegia, or traumatic brain injury, requiring lifelong medical care.
Explosions, defective products, and unsafe premises that inflict life-altering harm on workers, families, and bystanders.
