Frequently Asked Questions

How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Claim?
According to the Kansas Statutes section 60-513, you have two years to file a personal injury claim before the statute of limitations ends. If this happens before you file a claim, you will no longer be able to do so. There are some exceptions that can extend or shorten this two-year time period so it’s important to contact an attorney as soon as possible to discuss the specifics of your case. Our firm offers free consultations, so you have nothing to lose by contacting us today!
What Damages Can I Recover in a Personal Injury Claim?
While the specific amount of compensation you will be eligible to recover will depend on the specifics of your case. The types of damages an injury victim can pursue generally stays consistent across all personal injury claims. These types of damages are economic damages, non-economic damages and punitive damages. Economic damages compensate the injured party for financial losses associated with their injuries such as medical expenses or missed wages due to the inability to work. Non-economic damages compensate the injured party for non-financial, more abstract suffering, such as pain and suffering. The last type of damages, punitive damages, differ from the first two in that their main purpose is to serve as a financial punishment for the negligent party, as such they are not often awarded.
Should I Hire an Attorney for My Personal Injury Case?
Unlike insurance companies, Hutton & Hutton Law Firm, LLC is a true advocate on your side. Committed to fighting for the maximum amount of compensation you deserve our firm will work for your best interest every step along the way.
