Liability Overview
Liability Considerations in Seattle
Washington has a 3-year statute of limitations for medical malpractice (RCW § 4.16.350) with minor tolling until age 11 or 3 years from injury, whichever is later. Washington does not cap medical malpractice damages. Seattle Children's Hospital and UW Medical Center together form one of the nation's premier pediatric and obstetric academic medical complexes. Washington's $6.5 million documented birth injury verdict reflects the magnitude of recoveries available in serious cases in this state.
