Don’t Wait to File a Claim

According to the Kansas Statutes section, 60-513 the statute of limitations on personal injury cases in Kansas is two years. This means you have two years from the date of your injury to file a claim or you may lose your right to recover compensation. Kansas does have some exceptions where the statute of limitations can be extended. An attorney from our firm can let you know if you qualify for an extension to the statute of limitations.

Damages Available in a Personal Injury Case

There are three types of damages available for injury victims to pursue in a personal injury case, economic, non-economic and punitive damages. The first two damages can be grouped together as “compensatory damages.” Compensatory damages are responsible for compensating the injured party for as many losses as possible. Among other things, these losses include:

• Past and future medical expenses

• Past or future lost wages

• Mental anguish

• Pain and suffering

The last type of damages, punitive damages, differ from compensatory damages in that their main purpose is to act as a punishment against the negligent party instead of compensating the injured party for a specific loss.

Should I Hire an Attorney for My Personal Injury Case?

Unlike insurance companies, Ralston, Pope & Diehl, LLC are true advocates on your side, fighting for your best interest every step of the way. Insurance companies on the other hand, are looking out for their company’s profit, not what you need to recover well after an accident. On top of that, many people find that their injuries become more severe days or weeks after they sustain them. If you accept an insurance settlement before you know how serious your injuries are, you may find your settlement amount no longer covers all your medical expenses. An attorney from our firm can fight to protect your rights and help you recover the compensation you deserve so you can focus on recovering.
