Kansas statute of limitations
The general filing deadline in Kansas depends on the type of claim. Below is the deadline for each claim type Caseworth tracks, each with the underlying statute. Select a row for the full plain-English explanation, tolling exceptions, and an illustrative comparable-outcome range for that claim type.
| Claim type | Filing deadline | Citation |
|---|---|---|
| Personal Injury | 2 years | Kan. Stat. § 60-513 |
| Car Accident | 2 years | Kan. Stat. § 60-513 |
| Slip & Fall / Premises | 2 years | Kan. Stat. § 60-513 |
| Medical Malpractice | 2 years | Kan. Stat. § 60-513 |
| Wrongful Death | 2 years | Kan. Stat. § 60-1903 |
These are general statutory deadlines, not a deadline calculated for your specific facts — tolling, the discovery rule, and other exceptions can shorten or extend the real deadline. Only a licensed attorney can confirm your actual filing deadline in Kansas.
