“At a health facility, I went to the restroom. There was water on the floor and no caution signs. I fell, breaking my hip and shoulder. Mr. Siro came to my home to get the necessary information to file suit. After the suit was filed, I was kept informed by phone and mail. The whole experience was pleasant and professional.”
“As a professional, I worked with many attorneys over the years and Rik was the exception to some commonly held views of lawyers. He communicated well, was on time for meetings, met deadlines, and returned phone calls. No staged drama during depositions or court. Very professional and effective, highly recommend.”

What compensation should you expect when filing a personal injury lawsuit in Kansas?
Compensation (also known as damages) for personal injury falls under two broad categories: economic and non-economic damages.
Economic damages are a form of compensation for measurable financial losses stemming from your injury, encompassing past and future medical expenses, income loss, and additional incurred costs.
Non-economic damages refer to compensation for losses that can’t be quantified such as for ‘’pain and suffering’’ and emotional damage. Because this damage can’t be quantified, Kansas in Kansas Statutes section 60-19a02 placed a statutory limit on the amount that can be awarded for it. The award is limited to:
- $250,000 for injuries that occurred after July 1, 1988, but before July 1, 2014
- $300,000 for injuries that occurred on or after July 1, 2014, and before July 1, 2018
- $325,000 for injuries that occur on or after July 1, 2018, and before July 1, 2022; and
- $350,000 for injuries that occur on or after July 1, 2022.

Is there a time limit to start personal injury claims in Kansas?
According to Section 60 513 of the Kansas Statutes individuals have a two year window from the date of the accident to initiate an injury claim. It’s important to note that completing the case within this timeframe is not necessary. It is essential to begin legal proceedings within two years of the accident. Failing to file within this period usually leads to forfeiting the right to pursue action as courts are likely to reject the claim.
