01 · Your filing deadline

What is the deadline in Washington?

Washington imposes a 3-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims (RCW § 4.16.080). The discovery rule applies to latent pharmaceutical injuries. Washington courts apply the Frye standard for novel scientific evidence (State v. Cauthron), asking whether the methodology is generally accepted in the relevant scientific community. A lawyer can confirm yours.

3 years from date of injury discovery (Frye standard — favorable)

This standard may be more favorable than Daubert for GLP-1 causation testimony.

Deadlines vary; a lawyer can confirm yours. An older diagnosis or a past filing window does not, by itself, establish whether you have a claim.

Where would my case be heard?

Washington has a 3-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims with the discovery rule. Washington follows the Frye standard — not Daubert — which may be more favorable for GLP-1 causation experts, similar to California and Delaware. Seattle is the primary litigation venue, with King County Superior Court handling complex pharmaceutical cases.
