What Is the 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.
