Client injured in a wreck? Attorney fee sharing available.

Sending that matter out reflects on you.

Biesterveld & Crook handles roadway injury cases in Kansas and Missouri.

We handle car accidents, commercial truck crashes, motorcycle wrecks, pedestrians hit by vehicles, bicyclists hit by vehicles, and other roadway injuries with applicable auto-insurance coverage, which may include your own policy. Whether coverage applies depends on the facts and policy terms.

For referred cases we accept, Caleb Biesterveld or Dustin Crook takes the first call and remains responsible, with no associate handoff. If litigation counsel is needed, counsel may join while Caleb or Dustin stays involved. Attorney fee sharing is subject to applicable rules and does not add to the client’s attorney fee.
