What is the deadline in Kansas?
Kansas has a 2-year statute of limitations for personal injury from truck accidents (KSA 60-513). Modified comparative fault with 51% bar. Kansas has specific enhanced penalties for commercial vehicle violations in school zones and highway work zones. A lawyer can confirm yours.
2 years from date of accident
Claims against KDOT or state entities require notice within the Kansas Tort Claims Act (KSA 75-6103).
Deadlines vary; a lawyer can confirm yours. An older diagnosis or a past filing window does not, by itself, establish whether you have a claim.
02 · Where cases are heard
Where would my case be heard?
Kansas sits at the geographic center of the continental United States and at the intersection of I-70 (coast to coast) and I-35 (NAFTA corridor). Kansas's flat topography and long highway straightaways lead to driver complacency and speed violations by commercial operators. Kansas follows modified comparative fault with a 51% bar.
