You have a right to pursue justice for your personal injury within the Statute of Limitations in Washington State.  After being injured, whether through a car accident, motorcyle or truck accident, or other personal injury, your time to seek redress for personal injuries may begin ticking.  This factor of time is called the Statute of Limitations, also known as "SOL".  The Statute of Limitations may vary for different kinds of harms and wrongs experienced.

For example, for a general personal injury matter, the SOL is three (3) years from the date of injury.  This means after three years from the date of your injury, if you do not pursue your case by filing a lawsuit, your personal injury lawsuit may be barred.  Other types of tortious acts such as medical malpractice and products liability also involve a Statute of Limitations of 3 years. 

Accidents exist almost everywhere.  One of the most common ones are those that involve automobiles.  After a car accident, for example, if the police arrive to investigate the event, it is critical that you understand the purpose of the report.  The police officer may make a record of names, witnesses, and the facts of the incident.  Your version of the facts may be completely different from the other passenger(s)' version or even the bystander(s)' version.  Therefore, it is utterly important that the report reflects the actual facts of the car accident. 

After a simple (or complex) personal injury accident, many complicated factors may begin to ensue as you attempt to get your life back together again.  This is why it may be crucial that you contact an Attorney for legal advice and professional representation.
