Kansas Personal Injury Law
The filing window and fault rule are statewide, not unique to Independence:
- Statute of Limitations: 2 years from the date of injury to file a lawsuit
- Fault System: Modified comparative fault (50% bar)
- No-fault insurance (PIP): every Kansas auto policy carries personal injury protection. To sue an at-fault driver for pain and suffering, medical treatment must reach $2,000 or the injury must meet a statutory threshold such as a fracture of a weight-bearing bone or a permanent injury (K.S.A. 40-3117).
- Pain and suffering: the Kansas Supreme Court struck down the statutory cap on non-economic damages for personal injury cases (Hilburn v. Enerpipe, 2019). Wrongful death claims keep a separate $250,000 limit on non-economic damages (K.S.A. 60-1903).
- Seat belts: evidence that you weren't wearing a seat belt is not admissible to reduce your recovery (K.S.A. 8-2504).
Kansas uses modified comparative fault: you can recover as long as your share of fault is less than that of the parties you are claiming against, so 50% or more bars recovery (K.S.A. 60-258a). Claims against a city or county require written notice, and suit generally cannot be filed until the claim is denied or 120 days pass (K.S.A. 12-105b).
