Statute of Limitations for Truck Accident Claims

Answer:

If you’ve been injured in a truck accident in Washington state, you have three years to file a claim, but it’s important that you not wait three years or even two years. Witnesses forget things. People get lost. Defendants are hard to find.You want to get an attorney right away who can interview the witnesses, find the defendant, the driver, and protect the evidence and get the facts necessary to prosecute your claim later. A lot of these truck companies hire drivers who go from state-to-state and they cannot be found that easily, so you do not want to wait until the last minute
