According to Kansas law the statute of limitations to file a wrongful death claim is two years from the date of the deceased’s passing. The statute of limitations is, in essence, a time limit of how long you have to file a claim. Once this two-year time limit is up you will no longer be able to file a claim. There are exceptions to this rule that can change the amount of time you have to file so it’s important to speak to an attorney about your case as soon as possible.
