What is a release of all claims?

A release of all claims is an agreement between two parties that releases one party from all legal responsibility for any harm that may be caused by the other party. In the state of Kansas, a release of all claims is most commonly used in the area of accident law. In this context, a release of all claims is a document signed by the injured party, or the party seeking compensation for damages, in which they agree to release the other party from any liability arising from the accident in exchange for a payment of a predetermined amount. In Kansas, this document must be signed by both parties in order for it to be legally binding. A release of all claims can therefore be an effective way for an injured party to receive compensation for damages without having to go to court. It is important to note, however, that a release of all claims does not release the other party from any criminal responsibility for their actions.
