Navigating Kansas’s “Tort State” Laws

Martin Law Group, is your steadfast partner in navigating the “tort state” paradigm prevalent in Kansas, often referred to as an “at-fault” state. The bedrock of this framework entails establishing fault in the aftermath of any automobile accident. Prior to pursuing compensation, the determination of fault is paramount due to its direct association with the concept of negligence. Consider a scenario where a motorcycle and a car collide. In this case, the onus of fault rests upon the responsible driver. Be it their distraction by a mobile device or reckless driving, their negligence precipitated the accident, rendering them at fault. Our seasoned attorneys specializes in establishing fault through a rigorous collection of evidence, ensuring the construction of a robust case foundation.

Grasping “Pure Comparative Negligence”

At the heart of Kansas’s legal disposition lies the doctrine of “pure comparative negligence,” a distinctive hallmark. This principle dictates that even if you share a portion of fault in an accident, you retain the right to compensation proportionate to the other party’s liability. For instance, if your responsibility is determined to be 10%, you retain eligibility for 90% compensation. Regrettably, insurance companies often leverage this doctrine to diminish payouts. They might attempt to attribute partial fault to the victims, subsequently reducing their rightful compensation. At Martin Law Group, we possess an intricate understanding of these tactics and relentlessly counteract such maneuvers, ensuring that you are justly compensated.

Championing Motorcyclists’ Rights

Motorcyclists frequently encounter unfounded bias from insurance entities due to perceived risks associated with motorcycle riding. In response, Kansas has unequivocally denounced this inequitable treatment. Notably, State statute [MO.GOV 537.055] explicitly states that operating a motorcycle cannot singularly serve as evidence of comparative negligence in accidents involving motor vehicles. This indispensable legal safeguard shields motorcyclists from the underhanded strategies deployed by insurance firms to deflect blame. Our adept personal injury lawyers, is not only well-versed in this legal nuance but also fiercely advocates for your rights and rightful compensation.
