Wrongful Death Claims

Under the Kansas Wrongful Death Act (KSA 60-1901), if a person's death results from another's wrongful act or omission, the heirs at law can file a wrongful death lawsuit. This action seeks to compensate family members for their losses, including:

• • Mental anguish, suffering, or bereavement
• • Loss of society, companionship, comfort, or protection
• • Loss of marital care, attention, advice, or counsel
• • Loss of filial care or attention
• • Loss of parental care, training, guidance, or education

It's important to note that Kansas law caps non-pecuniary damages (e.g., pain and suffering) at $250,000, but there is no cap on pecuniary damages (e.g., medical expenses, lost wages).

Survival Actions

Separate from wrongful death claims, survival actions (KSA 60-1801) allow the deceased's estate to pursue claims the deceased could have filed if they had survived. This includes compensation for:

• • Medical expenses incurred before death
• • Conscious pain and suffering endured

• ✓ Medical Expenses – Current & future costs
• ✓ Lost Wages – Missed work due to injury
