Kansas injury claims: deadlines, fault, and damages explained
The two-year deadline, the 50 percent bar, how fault is shared among parties, the damages cap ruling, and claims against government entities.
ABOUT THIS BOOK
An accident has left someone hurt, and the questions start right away: how long is there to act, and what happens if both sides share the blame?
The Kansas Personal Injury Guide explains how injury claims work in the Kansas District Courts. It covers the four elements of negligence and the two-year statute of limitations for personal injury and wrongful death claims (K.S.A. 60-513), including the discovery rule, the 10-year outer limit, and the separate timing rules for medical malpractice.
The guide explains the Kansas 50 percent bar: an injured person found 50% or more at fault recovers nothing, and a smaller share of fault reduces the award (K.S.A. 60-258a). It explains why each at-fault party generally pays only its own share, and how parties whose fault is compared can be joined. It also explains that the $350,000 non-economic damages cap in K.S.A. 60-19a02 was held unconstitutional in Hilburn v. Enerpipe Ltd., while a $250,000 wrongful death limit remains.
