Car Accident Representation Led by Bradley A. Pistotnik
Legal Review: Bradley A. Pistotnik, CEO of Bull Attorneys, P.A. He graduated from the University of Kansas School of Law with a Juris Doctorate in 1981 and has represented thousands of injured people in Wichita and across Kansas.
His experience handling motor-vehicle injury claims informs the firm's approach to evidence, medical documentation, insurance coverage and case preparation.
In my experience, a serious car accident case is rarely just a car accident. The value of the case is built by preserving evidence, understanding the medical injuries, finding all insurance, proving fault, proving how the injuries changed the client's life, and explaining the full loss in a way an adjuster, judge, or jury can understand.
Our team investigates fault, applicable insurance and any business responsibility, then develops the medical and financial evidence needed to present the client's actual losses.
How Our Car Accident Attorneys Help You
A useful injury claim connects three things: how the crash happened, how you were injured and what those injuries have cost you. We investigate each part and explain what evidence is still needed.
Bull Attorneys helps injured drivers and passengers by:
- Explaining what to do before giving a recorded statement, signing a release or responding to an insurance request.
- Helping identify the proper PIP insurer and submit medical, wage loss and other documentation.
- Helping address access to care and billing questions, including when you do not have health insurance. Your medical providers decide what treatment you need.
- Getting the police report, crash report, photographs, witness information, and available video evidence.
- Helping with repair or total loss documentation, towing and rental questions associated with your injury claim.
- Investigating potentially responsible drivers, vehicle owners and employers, and reviewing insurance that may apply.
- Documenting medical expenses, lost income, future care needs and other legally recoverable losses caused by the crash.
- Negotiating a supported demand and preparing for litigation when an appropriate resolution cannot be reached.
How We Investigate a Car Crash and Preserve Evidence
We begin by identifying which evidence can resolve the disputed issues in your crash. A disagreement about a traffic signal may require different records from a rear-end collision or a crash involving a working driver. We request available records and seek to preserve relevant video, vehicles and electronic information.
72-hour car accident checklist
- Identify the investigating agency and request available crash reports, 911 recordings and dispatch records from Wichita police, the sheriff or the Kansas Highway Patrol or other appropriate city police.
- Locate possible dash-camera, body-camera and nearby home or business recordings, and request preservation when relevant footage may exist.
- Send targeted preservation requests for relevant vehicle data, video, app records and business documents when the facts call for them.
- Review the insurance policies and facts that determine whether liability, PIP, medical payments, uninsured motorist, underinsured motorist or commercial insurance coverage may apply.
- Help organize PIP forms, medical bills, work restrictions and wage records needed to present available benefit claims.
- Compare vehicle damage, scene photographs, witness accounts, roadway conditions and available electronic evidence to evaluate fault, and consult an appropriate expert when needed.
- Handle insurer communications within the legal representation and advise you about statements, authorizations and settlement documents so you do not have to.
Car Accident Cases We Handle
Our Wichita and Kansas car wreck lawyers handle many different types of motor vehicle accidents. The legal issue is not just how the wreck happened. The legal issue is how we prove fault, preserve evidence, find insurance, prove the medical harm, and show the full loss to the insurance company, judge, or jury.
Intersection and Red-Light Crashes
When drivers disagree about a signal or right of way, we look for available video, witness accounts, traffic-control information and the rules that apply to the intersection.
Left-Turn Accidents
We examine right-of-way, sight lines, vehicle positions and available witness or video evidence when one driver turns across another's vehicle path.
Head-On Collisions
We investigate lane position, vehicle damage, roadway evidence and witness accounts to determine how the vehicles came into contact and who may be responsible.
Drunk, Drugged, and Impaired Driving Accidents
We review available police evidence, test results and criminal-case records, and evaluate civil claims supported by the facts.
Hit-and-Run and Uninsured Driver Accidents
We investigate available evidence identifying the driver and review potential PIP and uninsured motorist coverage. Even when the driver is not found, coverage may be available, subject to policy terms and Kansas law.
Company Vehicle and Delivery Driver Accidents
When a driver is working, we investigate the employment or business relationship, the trip's purpose, relevant safety practices and available personal or commercial insurance coverage. Employer responsibility depends on the facts. For more information visit our Delivery Driver Accidents Page.
Pedestrian and Bicycle Accidents Involving Cars, Vans, and Trucks
We investigate visibility, right of way, speed, vehicle movements and the conduct of everyone involved. A disputed right-of-way issue calls for analysis rather than an assumption about fault. For more information visit our Bicycle Accidents Page.
Fatal Car Accidents and Wrongful Death
We help evaluate the heirs' wrongful death claim and any separate claims belonging to the estate, including conscious pain and suffering when supported by the evidence. We also investigate potentially responsible parties and available coverage. See Kansas K.S.A. 60-1901 and K.S.A. 60-1801. For more information see our Wrongful Death page.
How We Help With Medical Bills, PIP Benefits, and Lost Wages
Kansas PIP coverage may help pay initial medical bills and other covered losses regardless of who caused the crash. Our lawyers and support staff help identify the proper insurer, organize claim forms and medical bills, meet deadlines, and document reasonable, necessary treatment related to the accident. Coverage limits and eligibility rules still apply. See K.S.A. 40-3103.
When a client misses work, we gather employer records, doctor restrictions, disability notes, tax information when needed, and other proof of wage loss. When the injuries are serious, we also evaluate future medical treatment, permanent injury, future wage loss, life-care needs, and the long-term effect on the client and family.
Compensation We Pursue for Car Accident Victims
Depending on the evidence and applicable law, an injury claim may include past and future medical expenses, lost income, reduced earning capacity, pain, suffering, disability and disfigurement. Property losses require their own documentation. When a person dies, wrongful-death and estate claims involve different recoverable losses and should be evaluated separately. See K.S.A. 60-249a.

When Should You Call a Car Accident Attorney?
Put safety and medical care first. Once you are safe, consider speaking with a car accident attorney before signing a release or giving a recorded statement to the other driver's insurer, especially if you were injured, fault is disputed or several insurers may be involved.
A consultation may be useful when:
- You have injuries, ongoing symptoms or medical bills.
- The other driver, a police report, or an insurance adjuster is blaming you.
- The other insurance company wants a recorded statement.
- You are having difficulty identifying, applying for or receiving available PIP benefits.
- You have an injury claim and a related dispute over repairs, a total-loss offer or rental transportation.
- You missed work or may miss work because of your injuries.
- The crash involved an uninsured or hit-and-run driver, or someone driving for an employer, delivery service or rideshare company like Uber and Lyft.
- A family member died in the crash.
What happens in a consultation?
One of our lawyers or a case manager will go through an accident questionnaire with you, then a lawyer will advise you legally about the merits of your case. There is no charge for the initial consultation. This helps you make an educated decision about your accident and legal rights.
How long do I have to file?
Many Kansas personal-injury lawsuits are subject to a two-year limitation period. Exceptions, accrual rules and notice requirements can change the analysis. A different analysis applies to children under eighteen years of age. If a case involves a claim against a municipality, a 120-day notice period applies to comply with the Kansas Tort Claims Act. See K.S.A. 12-105b(d)(1).
Kansas insurance and fault rules affect how a claim is handled. The summaries below explain common issues; the answer in an individual case depends on the facts and available insurance coverage.
What Is Kansas No-Fault Law?
Applicable personal injury protection coverage generally pays initial covered benefits regardless of fault. The proper insurer depends on the injured person's status, household and vehicle ownership, as well as statutory priority rules. No-fault does not eliminate claims against a negligent driver or make fault irrelevant.
How Much Are Kansas Personal Injury Protection Benefits?
Minimum coverage includes $4,500 for medical expenses, $4,500 for rehabilitation, disability benefits with a $900 monthly limit for up to one year, substitution benefits up to $25 per day for up to 365 days, funeral benefits up to $2,000, and qualifying survivors' benefits. Higher purchased limits may apply. Benefits depend on eligibility and the statutory conditions; $900 is not an automatic monthly payment. See K.S.A. 40-3103.
Can I Buy More Than Minimum PIP Benefits?
Higher PIP, uninsured motorist and underinsured motorist limits may be available. Review coverage before a crash; increasing limits afterwards does not change the coverage in force for an earlier accident.
What Are the Minimum Kansas Liability Insurance Limits?
Kansas generally requires $25,000 for bodily injury or death to one person, $50,000 total for bodily injury or death to two or more people in one accident, and $25,000 for property damage. These are insurance limits, not a statement of what an injury claim is worth. We review whether other applicable coverage or responsible parties exist. See Kansas K.S.A. 40-3107(e).
Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist Coverage
Uninsured motorist coverage may apply when the responsible driver has no applicable liability insurance. Kansas underinsured motorist coverage generally depends on comparing your applicable UIM limits with the other driver's bodily-injury liability limits. Damages, policy terms, credits and settlement-notice requirements affect what may be recovered. See Kansas K.S.A. 40-284.
Property Damage, Totaled Cars, and Rental Cars
We help injury clients review repair or total-loss documents, comparable vehicle listings and related towing, storage and rental issues. Payment depends on fault, coverage and the recoverable loss. Your own collision coverage may offer another route, subject to the policy and deductible.
Pain and Suffering After a Kansas Car Accident
Kansas law generally requires medical treatment with a reasonable value of at least $2,000, or a qualifying injury, before recovering the covered noneconomic losses in a motor-vehicle tort claim. Qualifying injuries include permanent disfigurement, specified fractures, loss of a body member, permanent injury, permanent loss of bodily function or death. Treatment should be based on medical need, not on reaching a threshold. See K.S.A. 40-3117.
What If I Was Partly at Fault?
Under Kansas comparative-negligence law, damages may be reduced for an injured person's share of causal fault. A person generally cannot recover when that share is 50% or more in the comparison governing the claim. We investigate the evidence and challenge unsupported fault allegations. See K.S.A. 60-258a.
