Book excerpt: Claims against a county, based upon federal civil rights law, are not subject to the damage limitation provisions set forth in the Kansas tort claims act. K.S.A. 1987 Supp. 75-6105 sets a damage limitation and K.S.A. 1987 Supp. 75-6111 creates an exception to that limitation when an insurance policy is purchased that has policy limits in excess of the limitation. If such a policy is purchased, the damage limitation becomes the limitation of the policy. If a policy does not cover liability for certain claims, the damage limitation contained in K.S.A. 1987 Supp. 75-6105 remains applicable. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1987 Supp. 75-6105; 75-6111.
