How Kansas Law Affects Your Premises Liability Claim

Kansas follows a modified comparative fault system with a 50% bar and caps non-economic damages in medical malpractice cases at $325,000. General personal injury claims in Kansas do not have a statutory cap on non-economic damages. Kansas courts tend to be conservative in their verdicts, reflecting the state's rural and Midwestern character.

Under Kansas's modified comparative fault (50% bar) system, your settlement may be affected if you share any responsibility for the accident. Your recovery will be reduced by your fault percentage, and you are barred from recovery if your fault reaches 50% or more.
