Question 1

What personal injury case types do you cover in Kansas?

Accepted Answer

Premises liability and slip and fall are our headline Kansas categories: big-box and grocery (Walmart, Sam's Club, Target, Costco, Hy-Vee, Dillons, Price Chopper, Hen House), restaurant and hotel, parking lot, apartment complex, condominium common areas, and shopping-center files. We also cover auto / car accident (threshold-aware under § 40-3117), truck and 18-wheeler (I-70 east-west spine, I-35 NAFTA freight corridor), motorcycle, rideshare (Uber and Lyft), pedestrian and bicyclist, common-law one-bite dog bite, wrongful death (subject to the K.S.A. § 60-1903 $250K noneconomic cap), agricultural and meatpacking workplace files (grain elevators, feedlots, meatpacking concentrated in Garden City, Dodge City, Liberal, and Emporia), and product. Most firms buying Kansas leads from us mix a heavy slip-and-fall and big-box premises base with steady auto and I-70/I-35 trucking flow.

Question 2

How does Kansas premises liability law work?

Accepted Answer

Kansas abolished the common-law invitee/licensee distinction in Jones v. Hansen, 254 Kan. 499, 867 P.2d 303 (1994). Property owners now owe a unitary duty of reasonable care under the circumstances to all non-trespassers (the implied-licensee doctrine survives for known or tolerated entrants). Trespassers still receive only the lower duty: refrain from willful, wanton, or reckless injury. The unitary standard is meaningfully more plaintiff-friendly than tripartite-framework states (Texas, Missouri, Maryland, North Carolina, Mississippi). Surveillance preservation, prior-complaint discovery, and incident-report status drive Kansas slip-and-fall outcomes. Hilburn v. Enerpipe Ltd. (Kan. 2019) left general-PI noneconomic damages uncapped, which sustains the upper end of severe slip-and-fall outcomes.

Question 3

How much do Kansas premises liability and slip-and-fall leads cost?

Accepted Answer

Kansas premises and slip-and-fall lead pricing tracks the Google Ads auction. Personal injury commercial-intent CPCs across Kansas generally run $40 to $160, with the Kansas City metro (Johnson, Wyandotte) and Wichita (Sedgwick) at the top end and Topeka, Lawrence, Manhattan, and rural counties meaningfully lower. Our published Kansas pricing is $125-$655 per exclusive lead by case type ($360 for car accident (MVA, including motorcycle and pedestrian), $540 for commercial MVA (trucking, rideshare, bus), $655 for wrongful death, $195 for premises liability, and $125+ for workers' compensation), flat and the same for every firm, with no minimums or contracts (see the pricing section above).

Question 4

What is the statute of limitations for Kansas personal injury claims?

Accepted Answer

Two years from the date of injury under K.S.A. § 60-513(a)(4) for most personal injury claims, including premises, slip and fall, dog bite, auto, and product. A 10-year statute of repose under the same section is an absolute outer limit. Discovery rule applies narrowly under K.S.A. § 60-515. Wrongful death runs on a separate 2-year clock from the date of death under K.S.A. § 60-513(a)(5). Kansas Tort Claims Act claims (K.S.A. § 75-6101 et seq.) are subject to the K.S.A. § 12-105b(d) municipal pre-suit notice requirement; the notice tolls during the 120-day investigation period. Government liability is capped at $500,000 per occurrence under K.S.A. § 75-6105.

Question 5

How does Kansas' 49% rule comparative fault rule affect premises and PI cases?

Accepted Answer

Kansas applies modified comparative fault under K.S.A. § 60-258a in the "less than 50%" form (the 49% rule). A plaintiff recovers only if her fault is less than 50% of the combined fault of all parties; a plaintiff at exactly 50% is barred. Damages are reduced by the plaintiff fault percentage. The statute requires that the fault of nonparties be considered in apportionment. The same rule governs premises, dog bite, auto, and most negligence claims. Borderline-fault Kansas PI leads (slip-and-fall with prior wet-floor warning posted, premises files where plaintiff partially ignored a marked hazard) are flagged at intake for additional context, with the 49/50 line as the critical threshold.

Question 6

Does Kansas cap PI noneconomic damages?

Accepted Answer

No general cap on PI noneconomic damages. The Kansas Supreme Court struck the K.S.A. § 60-19a02 noneconomic damages cap (then graduated to $325,000) as unconstitutional in Hilburn v. Enerpipe Ltd., 309 Kan. 1127, 442 P.3d 509 (2019), holding it violated § 5 of the Kansas Bill of Rights (right to jury trial). There is no enforceable PI noneconomic cap in Kansas as of 2025. K.S.A. § 60-1903 still caps WRONGFUL-DEATH noneconomic damages at $250,000 (Hilburn did not address this cap, which remains in force). Punitive damages are capped under K.S.A. § 60-3702 at the lesser of defendant's highest annual gross income in the prior 5 years or $5,000,000, with profitability override of 1.5x profit gained from misconduct; bifurcated proceedings (clear and convincing evidence required).

Question 7

Why is the KC metro a unique forum-shopping environment?

Accepted Answer

The Kansas City metro straddles the Missouri-Kansas state line, with materially different tort-law rules on each side. Missouri uses pure comparative fault under RSMo § 537.765 (recovery preserved at any plaintiff fault percentage), a 5-year general-PI SOL under RSMo § 516.120, and no general PI noneconomic cap. Kansas uses the 49% rule under K.S.A. § 60-258a, a 2-year SOL under K.S.A. § 60-513(a)(4), and the K.S.A. § 60-1903 $250K wrongful-death noneconomic cap. Same accident on either side of State Line Road can produce dramatically different outcomes. We capture incident location and party-residence context to support venue analysis on KC-area files.

Question 8

Do you handle Kansas agricultural and meatpacking workplace files?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Kansas' agricultural sector concentrates significant third-party workplace exposure outside the workers' comp exclusive remedy. Grain elevator entrapment, PTO and equipment files, anhydrous ammonia exposure, and confined-space deaths at the meatpacking corridor (Garden City, Dodge City, Liberal, Emporia) drive a steady flow of third-party negligence claims. We screen agricultural files for direct-employer status (workers' comp bar), non-employer co-tortfeasors, equipment manufacturers, premises owners, and contracting-relationship analysis at intake.

Question 9

Are your Kansas leads pre-screened against the 2-year SOL and the K.S.A. § 12-105b(d) notice?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every Kansas lead is screened for SOL position under K.S.A. § 60-513(a)(4), representation status, injury, and 49% rule comparative-fault sanity check under K.S.A. § 60-258a. Premises and slip-and-fall leads include surface-condition context. Auto leads include § 40-3117 threshold qualification. Public-entity leads are flagged for the K.S.A. § 12-105b(d) municipal pre-suit notice requirement and the K.S.A. § 75-6105 $500,000 per-occurrence cap. KC-metro leads include incident-location and party-residence context to support venue analysis.

Question 10

Any contracts, minimums, or setup fees?

Accepted Answer

None. No monthly minimums, no subscriptions, no setup fees for standard onboarding. Pay per lead. Pause or resume anytime. Invalid leads are replaced under our standard policy.
