Our lawyers handle a wide range of personal injury cases in Kansas City, including:
Car crashes are often the result of careless or reckless driving. If another driver’s negligence caused your injuries, our lawyers can help you pursue compensation for medical bills, lost income, and long-term damages.
Even at low speeds, motorcycle wrecks often result in catastrophic injuries. If your crash was caused by a negligent driver, our lawyers can pursue the financial recovery you need for medical treatment and ongoing care.
Truck crashes involving semi-trucks, 18-wheelers, and other big commercial vehicles can be devastating. Their size and weight often lead to severe injuries and major property damage. These cases are also complex, since responsibility may fall on several parties — the driver, the trucking company, or even a parts manufacturer.
Collisions involving delivery trucks, semis, or other commercial vehicles often have devastating consequences. We represent victims of truck and commercial vehicle accidents, seeking full compensation for immediate and long-term needs.
Bicyclists are especially vulnerable in traffic. If a careless driver caused your bicycle accident, you may be eligible to recover compensation for your injuries, property damage, and financial losses.
Dog attacks can cause painful injuries, lasting scars, and emotional trauma. If you’ve been bitten by a dog, you may be entitled to compensation for medical care, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Slip-and-fall accidents on unsafe property can lead to broken bones, head injuries, or worse. When property owners fail to address hazards, they can be held responsible. We help victims recover compensation for medical treatment and other losses.
Pedestrians struck by vehicles often suffer severe injuries. If you or a loved one were hit by a negligent driver, our attorneys can help you pursue justice and financial recovery.
Our attorneys have resolved over $1 billion in combined settlements, jury awards, and judgments throughout their careers. Let our lawyers put our hard work, experience, and knowledge to use in your Kansas City personal injury case.
Michael and Brian have a partnership that goes back all the way to their law school days. They both grew up in the Kansas City area, learning the value of hard work and investing in the well-being of their neighbors and community. To this day, they approach each and every case they have with teamwork, constantly brainstorming and strategizing on each case to find ways to get the best results for their clients.
Big firm experience. Our combined years spent at a large national law firm has shaped the way we do business now. We learned from some of the best attorneys in the country, and are putting that training to work for clients living and working in our own backyards.
Relatability. We know that you are a person, not merely a client with a problem to solve. We have families and household responsibilities too, so we know how important it is to maximize your recovery—that every extra dollar we secure for you could cover the costs of clothing, food,
or shelter.
Candidness. We provide a frank and honest evaluation of each case with potential clients, letting them know what our role will be and what concerns we have in pursuing the case. We do not promise unattainable results to get clients to engage us, and we work very hard over the course of a case to dispel any concerns our clients have.

Anyone with a degree can practice law, but not everyone has the experience needed to develop and resolve a case. After over a decade of legal practice in Kansas City, lawyers Michael Foster and Brian Wallace decided to start their own firm to serve local clients in and around their community who need them most, developing and prosecuting claims and lawsuits arising out of personal injury matters, including car accidents, truck accidents, slip and fall accidents, and so much more.
“When I got the phone call from Foster Wallace, I was ecstatic but still in disbelief. I felt like a human being again. […] I am very limited in what I can do in life, but I am financially stable.”
Our experienced personal injury attorneys in Kansas City answer frequently asked questions from accident victims.
You could sue for punitive damages in a personal injury case in Missouri if you demonstrate that the defendant’s actions were intentional, malicious, or showed a complete disregard for the safety of others. Punitive damages punish the defendant for particularly egregious or reckless conduct and deter others from engaging in similar behavior.
Motorists are required to give cyclists at least three feet of clearance when passing them. Additionally, when turning, drivers must yield the right of way to cyclists in the same way they would for other vehicles or pedestrians. It is illegal for a driver to block or impede a cyclist’s path. Cyclists are also required to follow all traffic signals and road signs, just like motor vehicle drivers.
Intersection camera recordings provide objective evidence of the events leading up to and following a crash. These recordings can capture critical moments, such as the driver’s actions, the timing of traffic lights, and the speed at which vehicles travel. In personal injury claims, this footage can help establish fault, verify witness statements, and clarify conflicting testimonies.
