Washington Personal Injury Statute of Limitations
A statute of limitations is a limit that each state puts on how long a
victim has to file their personal injury lawsuit after being injured.
Statute of limitations generally varies from state to state, so it's important
to be familiar with the laws for Washington when pursuing your claim.
Washington Rev. Code § 4.16.080(2) (2016) states that the injured
party is allowed to file a personal injury lawsuit for up to 3 years following
the date of their injury.
Failure to file your lawsuit within the allotted time-frame can result
in having your case thrown out. Don't wait to get started on your case!
