Statute Limitations Personal injury lawsuit Washington State.
Anonymous5 views4 answers
A person I know filed divorce from his spouse twenty years ago. His ex within the last couple of years got in trouble with the law, charged with a felony and pleaded “not guilty by reason of Insanity”. She claimed that she was suffering from PTSD and that it was her ex’s fault for her condition from the marriage twenty years ago. Can she sue him and after being divorced twenty years?

The Statute of Limitations in Washington State for personal injury cases is 3 years. That can be extended in special cases, such as with minors, or adults who are considered incompetent, but in the situation you are describing, it looks like it would be very difficult to file a case this many years later.
Probably not since the lapse in time. The Statute of Limitations in WA for personal injury is 3 years. There are exceptions in special cases, but rare.
