Each local government, including the City of Bellevue, has different rules for filing notice of the claim. Many of these local governments provide written claim forms like the ones used by the State of Washington.
The City of Bellevue has a claim form and instructions on its website.
The City of Bellevue, like many municipalities, have notice of claim provisions in their statutes that says before a lawsuit is started, a notice of claim must be filed within a reasonable amount of time. This period of time is usually three to six months after the injury.
In Bellevue, you must file your claim within the state statute of limitations. There are different statutes of limitations for different types of claims in Washington. You can find these limitations at RCW 4.16.
The notice of claim usually contains the date of the injury, the nature of the incident, and other supporting facts regarding the claim. A failure to file a claim may result in a dismissal of the lawsuit.
The City of Bellevue’s claims process is described as the following:
The City of Bellevue can pay no tort damages unless a claim substantially complies with RCW 4.96.020 and Bellevue City Code 4.36, and is filed with the City Clerk. The tort claim must be signed either by the claimant or by
- The claimant’s attorney in fact, pursuant to a written power of attorney
- The claimant’s attorney, who is admitted to practice in Washington state, or
- The claimant’s court-approved guardian or guardian ad litem
