Kansas Personal Injury Law: What You Need to Know

Understanding Kansas's personal injury laws is crucial for protecting your rights:

Statute of Limitations: 2 years from the date of injury to file a lawsuit
Fault System: Modified comparative fault (50% bar)
Damage Caps: Non-economic damages capped at $325,000 in most cases
Collateral Source Rule: Payments from insurance don't reduce defendant's liability
Seat Belt Defense: Not wearing a seatbelt can reduce recovery

Kansas uses modified comparative fault with a 50% bar, similar to Colorado. You cannot recover if you're 50% or more at fault. Additionally, Kansas has specific rules about damage caps and collateral source rules that can affect your recovery.

Personal Injury Laws by State — Colorado, Arizona, California & Kansas

Colorado follows a modified comparative negligence system under C.R.S. § 13-21-111, barring recovery if the plaintiff is 50% or more at fault and reducing damages by the plaintiff's fault percentage. Most injury claims: 2 years from the date of injury. Auto collisions: 3 years from the date of crash. Arizona applies pure comparative negligence under A.R.S. § 12-2505, allowing recovery regardless of the plaintiff's fault percentage — even a plaintiff 99% at fault can recover 1% of damages. Arizona's statute of limitations is two years under A.R.S. § 12-542. California also follows pure comparative negligence under CCP § 1431.2, with a two-year filing deadline per CCP § 335.1. Kansas mirrors Colorado's approach with a modified comparative negligence threshold of 50% under K.S.A. § 60-258a, but allows only a two-year filing window under K.S.A. § 60-513. These differences significantly impact case strategy — a plaintiff 55% at fault recovers nothing in Colorado or Kansas but retains a reduced claim in Arizona and California.

Common Questions

Yes. Conduit Law is admitted to practice in Kansas (Kansas Bar No. 31057), and our attorneys are also licensed in Colorado, Arizona, California, and Kansas. We handle Kansas personal injury claims wherever the accident occurred in the state.

In Kansas, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is two years from the date of injury (K.S.A. § 60-513). Some situations shorten or extend that window, so it is best to talk to an attorney early — waiting can cost you the claim entirely.

Kansas follows modified comparative negligence — you can recover as long as you were less than 50% at fault, with your award reduced by your share. We work to document the facts and minimize the fault assigned to you so your recovery is as large as the law allows.

No. Most of our work is handled remotely — free consultations by phone or video, e-signatures, and secure document sharing. For serious cases we travel to meet you, and we coordinate with local Kansas courts, medical providers, and insurers as your case requires.

Nothing upfront. We handle Kansas injury cases on a contingency fee — you pay no attorney's fees unless we recover for you — and the initial case evaluation is always free.

Kansas Crash Reality · 2023

By the Numbers

Kansas saw fewer road deaths in 2023 than in any year since 2015 — but most of them happened on quieter rural highways, where help can be farther away and the crashes more severe. Understanding that pattern matters for both safety and a fair claim.

Injury Law at a Glance — CO, CA, AZ & KS

Kansas

This page

Deadline to file: 2 years; K.S.A. § 60-513
Fault rule: Modified (50% bar); You can recover only if you were less than 50% at fault; your award is reduced by your share.; K.S.A. § 60-258a

General information, not legal advice — and deadlines can be shorter for claims against government entities or in special circumstances. Laws change; confirm the deadline that applies to your case with an attorney before relying on it.
