Who Can Bring a Wrongful Death Action in Kansas?
In Kansas, wrongful death cases are governed by specific laws that dictate who legally is entitled to bring a case. Typically, the personal representative of the decedent’s estate is obligated to file the suit on behalf of surviving relatives. Some of these surviving relatives who could potentially bring this suit include:
- Spouses
- Children
- Parents
- Other dependents or beneficiaries
Our wrongful death lawyer team in Topeka can guide you through the system so your claim is properly made and within the statute of limitations. For Kansas, the two-year time period from the date of death usually applies, with exceptions based on the circumstances. It is necessary to act immediately to protect your rights and ensure your best chance at recovering the compensation that both you and your family are entitled to under the law.
