In the State of Washington, you have a three year time limit to file a personal injury claim for injuries caused by use or operation of a motor vehicle, including motorcycles. In many cases its best to wait to decide on whether to file a lawsuit until after you have healed from your injuries and know the full extent of the injuries you suffered. Because Washington accidents often involve very serious injuries it's not uncommon for a rider to be left with some degree of permanent injury. Such permanent injuries can range from a road rash scar, to herniation disc in the spine, to the loss of a arm or leg.
When such serious and permanent injuries are involved it's important you speak with an experienced Washington motorcycle accident lawyer before deciding what to do in resolving your case.
