Read on for summaries Jeff Carey's areas of practice:

Automobile Accident Lawyer

Jeffrey Carey has decades of experience in car accident litigation. Car accidents cause far too many injuries and deaths each year due to inattention or recklessness. Work with a Lee's Summit car accident lawyer to fight back and receive the necessary compensation after your car accident.

Wrongful Death Lawyer

We have helped many clients through the grief of losing a family member due to the wrongful actions of another person or company. Wrongful death litigation involves obtaining compensation after loss of life for the deceased's loved ones. In order to have a wrongful death action, the death must have occurred due to the negligent or wrongful act of an individual or corporation. A wrongful death can result from a car accident, asbestos, dangerous product, murder, or other wrongful act. Partner with a results-driven trial lawyer to defend your rights.

Medical Malpractice Lawyer

Missouri's tort reform legislation in 2005 changed the landscape of medical malpractice litigation significantly. It is now far more difficult and costly to successfully prosecute a medical malpractice action. If injuries are not serious or permanent, a lawyer will find it difficult to invest in the substantial sums necessary to succeed in these actions. Even with serious and permanent injuries, a large percentage of the medical malpractice cases that go to trial result in a defense verdict.

Mesothelioma - Asbestos Lawyer

The Carey Law Firm, LLC is a Missouri mesothelioma law firm. Jeffrey J. Carey assists clients in Kansas and Missouri that have developed mesothelioma, lung cancer or asbestosis. We have the experience to maximize the recovery in your case. The only known cause of mesothelioma and asbestosis is exposure to asbestos. An individual that has contracted these diseases may not be able to identify the specific time or place that they may have been exposed to asbestos. Most people are exposed in a current or former workplace. Some people are exposed due to a family member’s employment or due to general environmental exposure.

Depo Provera Lawyer

There are a shocking number of people only recently realizing that their meningioma brain tumors may have been caused by taking Depo Provera injection. Pfizer produced and marketed Depo Provera and did not disclose the risks of developing meningioma. It is believed that they have known about this risk for decades and put their own profit above the health of their patients and the public. Kansas City Depo Provera lawyer Jeffrey Carey can help you file your claim against Pfizer.

Bad Faith Insurance Lawyer

Insurance plays an important role in our society. The average American cannot afford to pay for the most catastrophic losses that they may experience in their life. By joining with others, however, they can pay insurance premiums that distribute the risk of a catastrophic loss or liability. The primary purpose of insurance should be to pool that risk of loss and provide insurance coverage in a time of need.

Semi-Tractor Trailer Accident Lawyer

Trucking cases present special problems and traps, which is why it is vital to choose the right lawyer who can act quickly to investigate the case and preserve evidence. Important information about an accident can be found in black box controllers for the truck, GPS data about the truck, and documents determining if the truck driver had the appropriate amount of rest at the time of the wreck.

Swimming/Boating Accident Lawyer

ASTM standards for swimming pool design apply to design and safety issues in commercial swimming pools. There are divergent standards governing the proper conduct and training of lifeguards. In addition, cases involving injury in boating accidents have a complex interrelationship between statutory duties of operators and potential product defect issues. A lawyer can help to navigate this complex issue.

Products Liability Lawyer

Dangerous products have been eliminated from commerce due to defective product litigation. Federal and state regulation have had a substantial effect on the safety of the products we use every day in our lives. Often, however, products liability lawsuits have been responsible for safety reform. Corporations are motivated by return to their shareholders. When a corporation is forced to internalize the harm caused by their products human safety becomes part of the profit calculation. Efficient markets are promoted by forcing companies to pay for the harm caused by their product. Because of the consumer's right to bring a products liability lawsuit, manufacturers know that if they create a product that is unreasonably dangerous, they subject themselves to serious liability. When dealing with a corporation, it's essential to have an experienced lawyer on your side.

Inadequate Security Lawyer

Businesses have a duty to help keep employees and visitors secure on their property. If they know that crime rates are exceptionally high in the area, they have heightened responsibilities. In addition, when private security forces use force they are responsible for excessive use of force causing injury. A skilled injury lawyer can help.

Nursing Home Neglect Lawyer

During the time of greatest need in our family’s lives, nursing homes sometimes provide indifferent care or intentionally victimize the elderly. Abuse takes the form of pressure sores, bruises, broken bones, falls, or death. Some providers scam money from their wards. If you suspect nursing home neglect, a Lee's Summit lawyer can help.

Employment Discrimination Lawyer

The Carey Law Firm assists individuals that have been discriminated against at work based on their age, disability, gender, race, national origin, or religion. Sexual harassment claims are a form of gender discrimination. We also offer legal services to prosecute wage and hour claims for clients.

Business Litigation Lawyer

The Carey Law Firm utilizes its litigation expertise on behalf of business and individuals with contract and general business disputes. In some cases, your business litigation matter may be handled by our lawyer on a contingency fee basis. Types of cases handled include:
