The statute of limitations is the deadline for filing a personal injury lawsuit in Washington. Missing these deadlines can permanently bar your claim. Act quickly to protect your rights.
General deadline for injury lawsuits in Washington
From date of death, not date of accident
Discovery rule may extend this deadline
For defective product injuries
For vehicle and property damage claims
Discovery rule may extend deadlines. Medical malpractice has a 3-year statute with an 8-year statute of repose from the act or omission.
Washington follows pure comparative negligence. You can recover damages even if you are 99% at fault, though your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. This is one of the most plaintiff-friendly negligence standards in the country.
Some states limit the amount of damages you can recover in personal injury cases. Understanding these caps is crucial for setting realistic expectations.
No cap on non-economic damages
Punitive damages are generally NOT available in Washington (one of few states)
Washington does not allow punitive damages in most civil cases. The focus is on compensatory damages — medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
