Washington State divides compensation for personal injuries into two categories: economic damages (your financial losses) and non-economic damages (the subjective losses you experience).
Recoverable economic damages in your slip and fall case may include:
You can also recover the cost of anything you spent out of pocket on temporary transportation arrangements and childcare services.
Non-economic damages may include:
Washington State does not limit the number of damages you can seek in a personal injury case.
Your compensable losses after a slip and fall accident are individual to your case. The value of your settlement or verdict may depend on:
If you slipped and suffered injuries, you may start by filing a claim with the liable party’s insurance company. However, if the insurer refuses to settle or offer the amount you need, you can file a lawsuit against the negligent party.
Per RCW 4.16.080, you generally have three years from the time of the accident to file such a lawsuit. If you don’t comply, the court will dismiss your case, leaving you with no viable path for seeking damages. Some factors could extend your filing period. Yet, you shouldn’t make any assumptions about your next steps. Misunderstanding the state’s filing deadline will not restore your right to seek damages once the timeframe has lapsed.
