How Long Do I Have to File a Car Accident Claim in Kansas?
By Bradley A. Pistotnik, Wichita car accident attorney, Bull Attorneys, P.A.
Quick Answer:
Most injury claims in Kansas must be filed within 2 years. Evidence fades fast, so start early.
Kansas deadline (simple)
The general rule is 2 years from the crash or when the injury is found (K.S.A. 60-513). Some claims have different rules.
Why start now
Videos get erased. Cars get fixed. Witnesses forget. Your lawyer can save key proof right away.
Local tip
Ask for your Sedgwick County or Wichita crash report number. Keep it with your medical papers.
