STEPHEN G. SANDERS

EXPERIENCED KANSAS CITY ATTORNEY

To fully understand why Stephen G. “Steve” Sanders is a highly skilled and capable Kansas City personal injury attorney, you need to know his background and why it makes such a tremendous difference in how he litigates cases.

After finishing law school in 2001, Mr. Sanders found his passion in fighting on behalf of the injured and trying to create real positive change in the lives of his clients and the community as a whole.

Steve’s Areas of Expertise:

  • Insurance Bad Faith
  • Insurance Vexatious Refusal to Pay claims
  • Catastrophic Injury
  • Wrongful Death
  • Suing Drunk and Impaired Drivers
  • Claims Against Tired Truckers

From time to time, Steve volunteers as a pro bono lawyer for the homeless at Kansas City’s City Union Mission. A skillful teacher and presenter, when Steve is not teaching Trial Lawyer College courses, he can frequently be found teaching Sunday School, bible studies, and classes like Financial Peace University.

Case Highlights:

  • One of Mr. Sanders’ most defining moments came when he represented an 8-year-old girl who was paralyzed by a vehicle. In an exceedingly complex product liability case, Mr. Sanders achieved a successful outcome while facing against one of the world’s largest automobile manufacturers. As a result of his tremendous work in this case, Mr. Sanders was asked to become a founding faculty member for the Keenan Ball Trial College. He has since instructed numerous classes there and has been asked by attorneys across the country for help with their personal injury cases.
  • In 2016, Mr. Sanders resolved a multi-million dollar case against one of America’s largest insurance companies. During this case he proved that his client was the victim of bad faith insurance and forced the offending company to change their policies so that other people would not be victim of the same mistreatment. Results like this is what Sanders.Law strives for in every case.

FIGHTING FOR REAL CHANGE

Mr. Sanders is first and foremost a teacher— which is exactly what juries hope for in a jury trial. The key to a successful lawsuit is having an attorney that can clearly explain and educate their audience on the situation and demonstrate how the injured has been wronged.

Mr. Sanders does not just want to win cases, he strives to make people understand how the injury happened and have those responsible change their ways so that it does not happen to someone else.
