My accident happened near the Kansas-Missouri border. Which state’s law applies?
Generally, the law of the state where the accident actually occurred applies — so an accident on the Kansas side of State Line Road is governed by Kansas law, even if the at-fault driver is from Missouri, and vice versa. This matters a great deal because the two states have different comparative fault rules and filing deadlines. GroverLawKC is licensed in both Kansas and Missouri and regularly handles cases where this exact question comes up.
