Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Cowlitz County, Washington?
Washington’s statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is three years from the date of the injury (RCW 4.16.080). For claims against a government entity — such as a city or county — the deadline is much shorter, typically requiring written notice within 60 days of the incident. Missing these deadlines usually means losing the right to recover, regardless of how strong your case is. Consulting a Longview personal injury attorney promptly after an accident protects your options.
Does Washington use comparative fault for personal injury cases?
Yes. Washington follows a pure comparative fault rule (RCW 4.22.005), which means your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault — but not eliminated entirely. If you were 30% responsible for a car accident and your damages total $100,000, you can still recover $70,000. Insurance adjusters routinely argue for higher fault percentages on injured parties to reduce payouts, which is one reason having an attorney negotiate on your behalf matters.
What should I do immediately after an accident in Longview to protect my personal injury claim?
Document the scene with photographs, collect contact information from witnesses, and seek medical attention even if injuries seem minor — delayed symptoms are common with whiplash and soft tissue injuries, and gaps in medical treatment are used by insurance companies to dispute claims. File an accident report with the Washington State Patrol or Longview Police Department if applicable. Contact a personal injury attorney before giving a recorded statement to any insurance company.
