How Kansas law treats explosion injuries
Statutory research reviewed 2026-08-14. Not legal advice.
- Shared fault
- Kansas applies modified comparative fault with a 50% bar: recovery is lost once the injured person's fault equals or exceeds the defendant's.
- Kan. Stat. Ann. § 60-258a(a)
- Damage caps
- Kansas has no enforceable cap on non-economic damages. The $250,000 cap was held facially unconstitutional in 2019 as a violation of the right to trial by jury; the statute remains on the books but cannot be applied.
- Hilburn v. Enerpipe Ltd., 309 Kan. 1127 (2019), holding Kan. Stat. Ann. § 60-19a02 unconstitutional
- Claims against government
- Written notice must be given to a Kansas municipality before suit. The municipality then has 120 days to act, and the claimant has at least 90 days after denial to file.
- Kan. Stat. Ann. § 12-105b
Directory coverage for Kansas is expanding
We don’t have listings here yet — coverage grows state by state rather than all at once. Burn and fire cases are routinely handled across state lines, so attorneys listed elsewhere in the region may still be able to help.
