Overland Park Personal Injury Lawyer
Local attorneys fighting for injured residents in Johnson County. Our office is right here in Overland Park.
Overland Park is the second-largest city in Kansas and one of the fastest-growing suburbs in the KC metro. With over 197,000 residents and major employment centers like Corporate Woods and the former Sprint campus, OP sees heavy commuter traffic along I-435, US-69, and Metcalf Avenue every day. That volume of traffic means accidents are a daily occurrence — from fender benders at the 119th and Metcalf intersection to serious highway crashes on the I-435 and US-69 interchange. As residents of Overland Park ourselves, the GroverLawKC team understands the roads, the intersections, and the patterns that lead to accidents here. Our office at 7221 W 79th Street is right in the heart of OP, and we're ready to fight for you.
Your Overland Park Injury Attorneys
Our office is located at 7221 W 79th St, Suite 100 — right here in Overland Park. We're not a Kansas City firm that occasionally takes Johnson County cases. We live and work in this community, and we understand the specific challenges that Overland Park accident victims face.
Kansas personal injury law differs from Missouri in important ways. Kansas follows a modified comparative fault rule with a 49% threshold — if you're found 50% or more at fault, you recover nothing. Kansas also has a shorter statute of limitations: just two years from the date of injury. And Kansas requires a minimum of $4,500 in PIP (Personal Injury Protection) coverage, which can affect how your medical bills are initially handled after an accident.
These distinctions matter. Many KC-area firms handle cases on both sides of the state line but don't understand the nuances. Mark Grover is licensed in both Kansas and Missouri and has tried cases in the Johnson County District Court many times. That dual-state expertise is critical when your accident happens in Kansas but involves a Missouri driver, or vice versa.

Frequently Asked Questions — Overland Park
Kansas uses a modified comparative fault system with a 49% bar. If you're found 50% or more at fault for the accident, you cannot recover any damages. If you're less than 50% at fault, your damages are reduced by your percentage of fault. This makes it critical to have an attorney who can effectively minimize your assigned fault.
Kansas requires all drivers to carry a minimum of $4,500 in Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage. PIP pays for your medical expenses and lost wages regardless of who caused the accident. However, PIP has a deductible and threshold requirements that must be met before you can sue the at-fault driver for additional damages.
Our office is at 7221 W 79th St, Suite 100, Overland Park, KS 66204. We're located just west of Metcalf Avenue, easily accessible from I-435. Free parking is available, and we offer evening and weekend appointments by request.
Kansas has a two-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims — significantly shorter than Missouri's five years. The clock starts on the date of the accident. Missing this deadline means losing your right to sue entirely, so don't delay.
Cross-state accidents in the KC metro are common. Generally, the law of the state where the accident occurred applies. An OP accident would be governed by Kansas law even if the at-fault driver lives in Missouri. Mark Grover is licensed in both states and handles these cross-border cases regularly.
