What Legally Defines a Wrongful Death in Kansas?

In Kansas, a wrongful death occurs when a person’s life is lost due to the careless, reckless, or intentional actions of another party. These claims are civil lawsuits designed to help surviving family members receive compensation for the tangible and emotional impact of that loss. Most often, these cases involve fatal auto accidents, unsafe work conditions, medical negligence, or dangerous property conditions. Understanding your rights is the first step toward justice—and our legal team is here to help clarify the path forward.

Who Can File a Wrongful Death Lawsuit in Wichita?

Kansas law allows certain family members to file a wrongful death lawsuit. These typically include a surviving spouse, children, parents, or other legal heirs of the deceased. In some cases, the executor or personal representative of the estate may also bring the claim. At George Pearson Law Firm, we walk you through the process of determining eligibility and handling the legal filings with professionalism and care.

What Compensation Can You Seek in a Wichita Wrongful Death Claim?

While no financial award can undo the loss, wrongful death compensation can provide much-needed relief and stability during a time of uncertainty. Families may recover:

  • Medical and funeral costs

  • Loss of the deceased’s income and financial support

  • Emotional distress and mental anguish

  • Loss of companionship, guidance, and love

Common Causes of Wrongful Death in Wichita

Time Limits for Filing a Wrongful Death Claim in Kansas

In Kansas, the statute of limitations for filing a wrongful death lawsuit is two years from the date of the person’s passing. Delaying action may result in losing your right to file.
