Statute of Limitations
Washington personal injury SOL: 3 years (RCW § 4.16.080). Minor tolling: SOL tolled until age 18, then 3-year SOL runs — child's claim expires at age 21 (RCW § 4.16.190). Wrongful death: 3 years from death (RCW § 4.16.080). Washington follows pure comparative fault — plaintiffs can recover even if substantially at fault, with recovery reduced proportionally. Washington Product Liability Act (RCW § 7.72) governs product claims.
Age 21 for surviving minor's personal injury claim; 3 years from death for wrongful death
