State Legislature Debates Products Liability Fence
Kansas lawmakers hear farm equipment firms press for limits on products liability amid rising insurance costs. Gilmore-Targe vice president Richard Corwin cites premiums from 1,500 to 488,000 over four years and a single equipment claim settled for 180,000. Witnesses urge predictability, damages caps, shorter limits, and protections for wholesalers while noting most Kansas goods are sold outside the state.
