Statute of Limitations
Washington has a 3-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims (RCW § 4.16.080). The discovery rule applies. Washington uses pure comparative fault — even a plaintiff with significant comparative fault may recover a reduced amount. No absolute statute of repose for product liability. The Western District of Washington (Seattle) is the primary federal venue for Washington PowerPort cases.
3 years from discovery of injury (no absolute repose)
