Dog Bite FAQ
Common questions
Is this a law firm?
No. WA Legal Help is a legal advertising website. It is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. Your inquiry may be shared with a participating Washington law firm for review.
What does a case review cost?
Requesting a case review through this website is free. A participating law firm will explain any fees during your consultation.
How long do I have to file a claim in Washington?
Washington generally allows three years from the date of injury for personal injury lawsuits. Claims against a government entity require a formal pre-suit claim first, plus a 60-day waiting period before filing. This is general information, not legal advice. A participating law firm can explain the deadlines that apply to you.
Does it matter that the dog never bit anyone before?
Generally no — Washington's statute makes the owner strictly liable for bite injuries regardless of the dog's history, when the person bitten was in a public place or lawfully on private property. A participating law firm can review what applies. This is general information, not legal advice.
