Federal Court – Going the Extra Mile for You
There’s an old expression “Don’t make a federal case out of it.” It means don’t make a big deal out of it. Do you think trucking and insurance companies want your lawyer to make a big deal out of your case? Probably not. Why? So they can pay you less.
For more than 25 years we have been “making a federal case out of it”. Federal courts have specific rules for which cases may be filed there. Many injury cases don’t qualify. Many personal injury lawyers try to avoid federal court. Federal court procedures can be more complicated and difficult than state courts. It often takes more work, knowledge and skill. Why do we go to this extra work? Because our experience shows that for some cases, filing your case in federal court can produce better results than in state court.
The trucking industry is a national business. Truck accident injuries are often more serious. So, many truck crash cases qualify for federal court. If filing your case in federal court is best, we have the know-how and experience to successfully represent you there. Additionally, even if your case is filed in state court, the trucking company may be able to move or “remove” your case to federal court. So, you may still need a lawyer who can effectively represent you in federal court.
Since 1999 Lawrence Flick of Flick Truck Accident Law has represented injured clients in Kansas and Missouri federal courts. Lawrence Flick has recovered money for clients through both jury trial and settlements. Going the extra mile and having the know-how to successfully represent you in federal court shows our commitment to high quality work and results for you.
