Vehicle Damage
The police said the damage to the 2005 Peterbilt Semi with Colorado license plate number 089UKP was not stated. It was insured by Acuity Insurance. The damage to the 2011 Subaru Passenger Car with Kansas license plate number 739JCH was not stated. It may not have been insured. So a lawyer should conduct a full insurance investigation. It was removed from the crash scene by Alex's Radiator and taken to Tow Lot.
How To Get the Highway Patrol Report
The Kansas State Highway Patrol Trooper with badge number K305 wrote up the report. The highway patrol assigned case number 2017-011983 to this crash. The KSHP charges $5.00 for each copy of the report plus additional fees of $2.00 for each witness statement. But you can call 877-925-1969 to request a free copy of the report. In order to get the report through the KSHP website, you must create a Kansas.gov account and give them your credit card. You must agree to be subject to Kansas Statute 45-230: Unlawful Use of Names Derived from Public Records. This statute imposes on those subject to it "a civil penalty in an action brought by the attorney general or county or district attorney" of up to "$500 for each violation."
Insurance Claim
Vance may have an insurance claim against Acuity Insurance, or another insurance company. A lawyer will maximize the amount collected from the insurance companies. In most cases, injured people can recover money for their medical bills, lost wages, and for their pain and suffering—even if a family member was driving. In Kansas, Personal Injury Protection (PIP or No-fault) pays for medical expenses, rehabilitation, funeral expenses, lost wages, and in-home assistance for the driver and the passengers injured in a crash. It does not matter who is at fault. Getting a lawyer working on this case early will increase the amount of money Vance recovers for injuries.
