I was injured while visiting Washington on vacation.  What are my legal rights?

In Washington you generally have three (3) years to settle a claim or file a lawsuit.  This is called the statute of limitations.  This limitation period begins to run the date of the accident that caused your injuries.  If you are seriously injured, or have missed significant time from work, or if your medical bills are high, you usually should consult with a lawyer right away.  Resolving injury claims can be difficult because you are usually dealing with a large insurance company with enormous resources.  The company will usually be gathering information to either defeat your claim entirely or minimize the damages it has to pay out.
