About Kevin

Kevin helps people and businesses harmed by the wrongful actions of others. He has secured nearly a half billion in verdicts and settlements for personal injury victims and businesses. His clients benefit from his attention to detail and experience in trial and appellate courts throughout the nation. In 2015, he was named an Up & Coming Lawyer by Missouri Lawyers Weekly. He was honored as a Missouri & Kansas Super Lawyers® Rising Star from 2014-2023 and has been recognized as a Missouri & Kansas Super Lawyers® Super Lawyer since 2024. And since 2023, he's been named to Best Lawyers in America®. Kevin Carnie Jr. has earned a reputation for taking on some of the most high-profile cases in the region, securing nearly half a billion dollars in verdicts and settlements for his clients. Carnie focuses on catastrophic personal injury and product liability cases. His product liability cases range from accidents involving cranes, vehicles, construction equipment, heavy machinery, factory equipment, and medical devices. His personal injury practice includes medical malpractice, auto accidents, trucking accidents, and civil rights cases. Kevin’s business litigation experience includes antitrust claims, insurance coverage issues, securities fraud, real estate, consumer fraud, class action, banking litigation, patent infringement, and contract disputes. He’s also been a fierce advocate for children with disabilities, winning a $20 million settlement after uncovering abusive conditions on their school buses. Kevin also won a $3.1 million verdict for a murder victim’s family, highlighting the need for reform at a problem property in St. Louis. Kevin’s work has also exposed the dangerous practice of overprescription of amphetamines. He represented a mother who brought her daughter to a rehab facility, where she was prescribed Vyvanse and eventually suffered a fatal stroke due to overprescription. Kevin secured a $5 million jury verdict in that case. He represented a police officer who was paralyzed during a shooting after the officer’s bullet proof vest failed to protect him. The trial brought attention to the limitations of body armor, helping to save law enforcement lives. Kevin also isn’t afraid to hold law enforcement accountable. In addition to his significant trial expertise, he has extensive experience in civil rights matters. He’s frequently quoted and featured in the media as a subject matter expert on the topic, including The Pulitzer Center, The Marshall Project as well as St. Louis Public Radio and TV news affiliates. He represented a man who died while being held in a prone restraint position for too long, causing a fatal medical emergency. The case went all the way to the United States Supreme Court, helping shape reform in policing tactics. Due, in part, to his work on that case, the police department adopted changes to its review of police misconduct and reassessed its legal policy for defending civil rights cases. He also won a $1.25 million verdict for a man after an officer illegally entered his home and used a Taser to subdue him for a parking ticket.
