Time Limits for Personal Injury Lawsuits in Washington State

Washington State places a time limit on filing personal injury lawsuits in court.  In Washington, a person has 3 years from the date of a motor vehicle collision to file personal injury lawsuit.  Other types of claims may have different periods of time in which to file a claim, or be forever barred from pursuing it, so it is important to talk to an experienced personal injury lawyer as soon as possible.

Recoverable Damages in Personal Injury Cases

In a personal injury lawsuit the law provides recovery for both present and future economic damages, as well as certain non-economic damages.  Medical expenses, lost wages and earnings capacity, pain and suffering, and emotional distress are some of the most common types of losses.  If you have been injured due to someone’s else’s careless or negligent conduct, the law provides you the right to seek recovery for all of your losses.
