Do I Need a Lawyer If I Was Partly at Fault?
By Bradley A. Pistotnik, Wichita car accident attorney, Bull Attorneys, P.A.
Quick Answer:
Yes, talk to a lawyer. In Kansas, you can still win money if you are less at fault than the other driver.
How the rule works
Each driver gets a percent of fault. If you are 49% or less at fault, you may recover, but your money is reduced by your percent. Kansas follows a modified comparative fault system under K.S.A. 60-258a.
Why a lawyer helps
We gather proof to lower your fault share—photos, video, black box data, and witness notes.
Local roads to watch
Crashes often happen at busy Wichita spots like Kellogg, I-135, and K-96 interchanges.
