Schmitt Law Firm, LLC

Schmitt Law Firm, LLC is a personal injury law office located in Kansas City, Missouri. It’s run by Ben Schmitt, a respected trial lawyer with more than 20 years of experience. He focuses only on helping people who were hurt in accidents. He doesn’t work for insurance companies. He doesn’t work for big corporations. He works for everyday people.

Ben started his firm because he saw how badly injured people were treated by insurance companies. They were offered low settlements. They were ignored. Or worse — they were blamed. He knew people deserved better. That’s why he built a law firm that gives clients honest advice, one-on-one attention, and serious results.

At Schmitt Law Firm, the focus is simple: If you were hurt and it wasn’t your fault, we’re here to help.

Personal Injury Lawyer in Kansas City MO

Schmitt Law Firm is 100% focused on personal injury law. That means they only take on cases where someone was injured due to someone else’s mistake or carelessness.

The firm handles many types of cases, including:

• Car accidents

• Truck accidents

• Motorcycle crashes

• Bicycle and pedestrian accidents

• Slip and fall injuries

• Dog bites

• Construction accidents

• Wrongful death claims

• Workplace injury lawsuits (not just workers’ comp)

Because they focus only on injury cases, the team at Schmitt Law Firm knows how to handle the details. They know what evidence matters. They know how to push back when an insurance company lowballs an offer. And they know what kind of help their clients need after an injury.

Car Accident Attorney in Kansas City

If you were hit by another driver and got hurt, you might need a car accident lawyer to help you deal with insurance and medical bills.

Car crashes can leave you with:

• Neck and back pain

• Broken bones

• Head injuries

• Soft tissue injuries

• Anxiety or PTSD

• Time off work

• Huge hospital bills

Ben Schmitt helps people in Kansas City and surrounding areas after all types of car accidents — rear-end collisions, T-bone crashes, highway pileups, and more.

He works to prove who caused the crash and helps you recover the money you’re owed. That could include payment for your medical care, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and more.

Ben knows how to hold insurance companies accountable when they try to avoid responsibility.

Motorcycle Crash Injury Lawyer

Motorcyclists have just as much right to the road as anyone else — but they often get blamed when accidents happen. Even when the rider did nothing wrong, the other side may try to shift the blame.

Schmitt Law Firm fights for injured motorcycle riders. Ben understands the serious injuries bikers face, like road rash, broken bones, and head trauma. He also understands how these crashes often happen because drivers fail to yield, run red lights, or simply don’t look before changing lanes.

Ben works with accident reconstruction experts, reviews traffic footage, and digs into witness statements to build a strong case. He knows how to make sure the rider’s side of the story gets heard.

Truck Accident Lawyer Missouri

Crashes with semi-trucks and other large commercial vehicles are not like regular car accidents. Trucks are heavier, harder to stop, and can cause massive damage. Trucking companies also follow a different set of rules, and they have their own legal teams ready to protect them.

Ben Schmitt knows how to take on truck companies and their insurance providers. He investigates the full situation — not just the crash itself, but what led up to it. That includes:

• Checking the driver’s hours to see if they were overworked

• Looking at maintenance records

• Finding out if the truck was overloaded

• Reviewing dashcam or GPS data

If a driver, company, or equipment issue caused the crash, Ben will find it. He’s not afraid to take these cases to court if that’s what it takes.

Slip and Fall Lawyer in Kansas City

It might not sound serious, but slip and fall accidents can lead to major injuries. Some people break hips, suffer concussions, or hurt their back so badly they can’t work anymore.

If you slipped, tripped, or fell on someone else’s property because they didn’t keep it safe, Schmitt Law Firm can help.

This includes falls caused by:

• Wet floors

• Uneven sidewalks

• Broken stairs

• Icy walkways

• Poor lighting

• Loose rugs or mats

Ben gathers evidence to prove that the property owner knew about the danger — or should have known — and didn’t fix it.

Dog Bite Injury Lawyer

Dog bites can be scary and painful. They often leave physical scars and emotional trauma. Kids are especially at risk, and dog attacks can cause long-term injuries.

Schmitt Law Firm represents dog bite victims in Kansas City and across Missouri. Ben understands how to hold dog owners responsible when they fail to control their pets.

He helps clients recover money for:

• ER visits and follow-up care

• Stitches and plastic surgery

• Infection treatment

• Scarring and disfigurement

• Emotional distress, especially for children

Construction Accident Cases

Construction zones are dangerous places. Falls, electric shock, collapsing structures, and heavy machinery all lead to injuries. Many workers think they can only file for workers’ comp, but in some cases, there may be a third party responsible.

Schmitt Law Firm helps with serious construction accident claims, especially when other contractors, property owners, or equipment manufacturers may be to blame.

Ben helps with cases involving:

• Falls from scaffolding or ladders

• Forklift or crane accidents

• Explosions or fire

• Unsafe job sites

• Missing safety equipment

Wrongful Death Lawsuits in Missouri

Losing a loved one is never easy. But when that loss was caused by someone else’s carelessness, it can be even harder.

Ben Schmitt helps families file wrongful death claims in Kansas City and throughout Missouri. These cases can come from deadly car crashes, truck wrecks, falls, medical errors, and other serious accidents.

He helps families recover:

• Funeral and burial expenses

• Medical bills

• Lost income

• Pain and suffering

• Loss of companionship

Ben handles these cases with compassion and care. He knows families are going through a hard time, and he makes sure the process is as simple and respectful as possible.

What Clients Are Saying

Here’s what one former client had to say:

“I never thought I’d need a lawyer, but after my car accident, I was overwhelmed. I didn’t know what to do or who to trust. A friend told me to call Ben Schmitt. From the first phone call, I felt like I could breathe again. He explained everything so clearly. He answered every question. And in the end, he got me a settlement that changed my life. He truly cared.”

Many others have shared the same kind of story. Ben takes time with each client and treats every case like it matters — because it does.

What Compensation Can You Receive?

Every case is different, but Schmitt Law Firm fights to recover full compensation, including:

• Medical bills (ER, surgery, therapy)

• Lost income (past and future)

• Pain and suffering

• Mental and emotional distress

• Property damage

• Loss of ability to work

• Funeral costs in wrongful death cases

Ben never accepts a settlement just to “get it done.” He fights for what’s fair — and what his clients truly need.

The Legal Process: Simple and Clear

Not sure what happens after you call? Here’s what the legal process looks like at Schmitt Law Firm:

1. Free consultation – You tell your story. Ben listens.

2. Case review – He reviews the facts, explains your options, and gives you honest advice.

3. Case begins – If you move forward, he starts building your case.

You’re never left wondering. You’re always updated. And you’re always part of the process.
