Seattle is one of the most congested traffic areas in the nation, so it is no surprise that motor vehicle accidents are so common on our highways. Some of those accidents result in devastating injuries. If you have been injured or lost a loved one in a Seattle car accident caused by another party’s negligence, you may be entitled to recover compensation for damages.
Unfortunately, insurance companies rarely offer a fair settlement of your claim willingly. You need the help of an experienced Seattle personal injury lawyer to protect your rights and help you recover the full value of your claim.
At Harpy Law, our Seattle car accident attorneys have a proven record of helping accident victims secure maximum compensation, and we want to do the same for you. Contact us today and schedule a free consultation to discuss your Seattle car accident claim.

How Long Do I Have To File A Car Accident Claim in Washington?
For most car accident personal injury claims, the statute of limitations is three years. That means you must file your claim to recover compensation within three years of your accident. If you miss your filing deadline, you will not be able to recover compensation.
However, there are some exceptions to the three-year filing deadline. You could have a much shorter deadline or a slightly longer filing deadline. So you must promptly consult an experienced Seattle motor vehicle accident attorney to determine how long you have to file.
