Statute of Limitations

How long do you have to file a workers’ compensation claim after a workplace accident? The answer depends on the nature of your accident. 

If you want to file a workers’ comp claim after getting sick as a result of your job, you have two years to submit your paperwork. If you want to file a workers’ comp claim after an industrial injury, you have one year to submit your paperwork.

Things change if you want to file a personal injury claim. Washington’s personal injury statute of limitations allows you to take up to three years to file your paperwork.
