Traffic Law Central of Bukaty Law Offices, P.A., represents drivers in the Greater Kansas City area, in both Kansas and Missouri. Our knowledge of the laws and the local courts will help you stay out of jail and avoid losing your license.

We have successfully defended hundreds of clients on all accident-related offenses:

• Hit and Run (leaving the scene)
• Failure to Report an Accident
• Careless and Imprudent Driving
• DUI (Kansas) or DWI (Missouri)
• Reckless Driving
• Driving too fast for conditions
• Failure to yield/illegal turning
• Failure to avoid a collision

Potential Consequences

Hit and run or leaving the scene are jailable offenses. You may also lose your license for up to a year. Reckless driving alone can result in a 90-day license suspension. We can prevent all these things from happening. Many auto accidents, even serious violations, can be amended with the help of an experienced traffic attorney who understands the policies of the various courts throughout the Kansas City metro area.

If you were driving without insurance at the time of the accident, your license can be instantly suspended. Regaining your license requires expensive SR-22 (high-risk) insurance. We can help with this as well.

If you were driving on a suspended license, you may face additional jail time and license revocation. Causing an accident while driving drunk can be a felony, punishable by one or more years in prison.

If someone was injured in the crash, the court may order restitution, and the victim may sue you as well. However, there are ways to avoid these situations.

Strong Defense

Anthony Bukaty is an experienced criminal and traffic defense lawyer. If you have been involved in an auto accident, he will make every attempt to help you avoid jail by challenging the charges in court, negotiating with prosecutors and persuading the judge to agree to lesser penalties. In both Missouri and Kansas, accident-related offenses may be amended to avoid adding points to your license and enabling you to avoid jail or license suspension.
