Statute of Limitations

If you want to file a claim after a construction accident, you need to first determine who you want to hold responsible for your losses. The identity of your liable party can determine how much time you have to complete your paperwork.

For example, Washington’s personal injury statute of limitations gives you three years to take legal action against contractors, construction companies, and private individuals.

If you want to sue the government for your losses, you still have three years to build your claim – the state of Washington waived its immunity in most civil cases. However, suing the government requires you to first file a claim with the Washington State Office of Risk Management and then wait 60 days.

Fortunately, our construction accident lawyers are on your side. We can determine what your case’s statute of limitations is and how you can take advantage of your filing timeline.
