  Truck Accidents

  When a truck jackknifes or collides with another vehicle, the damage can be catastrophic. Multi-vehicle pileups are common in such situations since 18-wheelers are long enough to block multiple lanes. In some cases, a fire may even break out and cause severe burns or wrongful death. Broken bones, brain injury and spinal cord injuries are possible, as well, all of which will require expensive medical treatment, so contact a personal injury attorney right away to determine what types of compensation you may be entitled to when filing a claim.

  Motorcycle Accidents

  Unlike car and truck passengers who have safety restraints, there is nothing holding a motorcyclist in place. As a result, high-speed collisions have been known to launch motorcyclists off of their bikes to land great distances from the scene of the accident. Many times they may even lose their helmet and crack their head on the pavement, resulting in a traumatic brain injury. Situations such as this will doubtlessly result in expensive medical care, not to mention a damaged motorcycle and serious pain and suffering. A victim may even require ongoing or permanent care for catastrophic injuries to the brain or spine. If you have been injured in a motorcycle accident caused by someone else, get legal help immediately to ensure that you have the highest chance of obtaining compensation for your damages.

  Slip & Fall

  A large number of personal injury claims that are filed every year are the result of premises liability. When walkways are not properly maintained or kept clear of hazards such as puddles, cords or debris, the risks of slipping, tripping and falling greatly increase. Anyone who is responsible for maintaining an area who fails to do so should be held responsible for any injury that occurs as a result.

  Medical Malpractice

  When a person falls ill or suffers an injury, they go to their doctor hoping to find healing or improvement of some kind. It is the mission of any kind of doctor to do everything in their power to help their patient, which is why doctors, surgeons and other such medical professionals take the Hippocratic Oath at the start of their practice. Nevertheless, there are cases where patients suffer personal injury at the hands of medical professionals and therefore deserve to be compensated for their suffering. Don't hesitate to contact an Olathe personal injury attorney if you are in such a situation.

In cases such as this, a competent Olathe personal injury attorney could fight to recover multiple types of damages. These could be monetary damages for medical bills and loss of income, or special compensation for pain and suffering or loss of consortium.

• Partnership Disputes

  In many business situations, two or more individuals may choose to enter into a partnership as outlined in K.S.A. Ch. 56a. This is accomplished by drafting and entering into an agreement regarding each partner's status, responsibilities and benefits within the partnership. As a result, it is possible for disputes and disagreements to arise regarding the terms of the partnership. These disputes could be about status, finances, the direction of the business, and more. When such disputes occur, it may be necessary to retain an attorney for counsel, or for representation should the case be brought to court. Many times, these disputes can be resolved through mediation, where all parties involved negotiate resolution with the guidance of a trained attorney. Other times, litigation is the only option and requires the skilled and vigorous representation of a trial lawyer.

• Quiet Title

  What happens when you need the title to a certain car, house, airplane, boat or other property but are unable to confirm it? You must do so through a quiet title action. An experienced Olathe civil litigation attorney could help you with this process.

This legal action is brought to remove any obscurity on the title so that the plaintiff and those in privity with him or her may forever be free of claims against the property.

Seek the help of a lawyer to bring such an action. At Wallentine Injury Law, we have helped numerous clients get title to various properties.

• Administrative Hearing

  After being arrested for drunk driving, your license will be suspended according to Kansas law. For a first offense, the suspension will last between 30 days and one year. A second offense can result in a 1 year suspension. When this happens, the offender will be unable to drive him or herself to work, school, appointments, and other necessary locations, making them dependent on public transportation, friends and family. Their job could be jeopardized as a result. There may still be an opportunity for him or her to fight their suspension, however, and that is through an administrative hearing. Under current Kansas DUI laws, it may be possible to modify your license suspension

• DUI Drugs

  When people think of DUI, they usually think of a drunk driver; however, driving under the influence is not restricted to alcohol-related offenses alone. A person can also be arrested for driving under the influence of a controlled substance, or even a prescription or over-the-counter (OTC) drug. Illegal drugs have a similar effect on the brain as alcohol does, inhibiting the thought process and slowing a person's reaction time so that they cannot avoid danger in time. Many prescription and OTC drugs have side-effect that are much the same, which is why operating a motor vehicle is not recommended after taking some of these drugs.

• Felony DUI Charges

  Repeat DUI offenses result in escalating penalties in the state of Kansas. For example, a first-time DUI offense will incur a 30-day license suspension, 48 hours in prison and a $500-$1,000 fine, while a second DUI offense will incur one year of suspension, 90 days to one year in prison, and a $1,000-$1,500 fine. A third conviction is even worse, but the real trouble begins with a fourth DUI conviction. For a fourth or subsequent DUI, the offense is a felony under Kansas state law and is harshly punished. The penalties are as follows: Fourth Offense: 90 days to one year in prison, followed by one year of post-release supervision $2,500 fine plus court costs, probation and evaluation fees License suspended for one year, followed by one year of restricted driving with an ignition interlock device Completion of a drug/alcohol treatment program at your own expense Vehicle impoundment for up to one year Fifth or Subsequent Offense: 90 days to one year in prison, followed by one year of post-release supervision $2,500 fine plus court costs, probation and evaluation fees Permanent license suspension Completion of a drug/alcohol treatment program at your own expense

• Second DUI Offense

  One conviction for driving under the influence (DUI) is enough. As such a dangerous offense, drunk driving should not occur once, let alone two or more times. That is why second DUI offenses incur harsher penalties that the first. The Kansas Department of Transportation lists the following penalties for DUI offenses: First DUI Offense: 48 hours of mandatory imprisonment or 100 hours of community service $500-$1,000 fine Court costs, probation and evaluation fees Completion of a court-ordered alcohol and drug safety action education program and/or treatment program 30-day license suspension Vehicle impoundment for up to one year Second DUI Offense: 90 days to one year imprisonment $1,000-$1,500 fine Court costs, probation and evaluation fees Completion of a court-ordered treatment program One-year license suspension, followed by one year of driving with an ignition interlock Vehicle impoundment for up to one year

• Underage DUI

  Driving while intoxicated is already a serious enough offense for those who are of legal age to drink. The offense becomes more complicated, however, when it is committed by a person under the age of 21. Kansas is a "zero tolerance" state, which means that an underage driver with a BAC of .02% or higher will have their license immediately suspended upon arrest. Penalties for underage DUI are as follows: First Offense: License suspended for 30 days, followed by 330 days of restricted driving. If their BAC was .15% or higher, their license will be suspended for one year, followed by one year of restricted driving with an ignition interlock device. Second Offense: License suspended for one year, followed by two years of driving with an ignition interlock device. Third Offense: License suspended for one year, followed by three years of driving with an ignition interlock device.
