Washington law

How Washington law treats house fire injuries

Statutory research reviewed 2026-08-14. Not legal advice.

Shared fault
Washington follows pure comparative negligence: fault reduces damages proportionally and never bars recovery, at any percentage.
Wash. Rev. Code § 4.22.005
Damage caps
Washington has no cap on non-economic damages. The former cap was held unconstitutional in 1989 and the legislature formally repealed the dead statute in 2023.
Sofie v. Fibreboard Corp., 112 Wn.2d 636 (1989); repealed by 2023 c 102 § 5
Claims against government
Washington sets no shortened notice deadline, but a claim must be presented to the entity and suit cannot be filed until 60 days later. The filing deadline is paused during that waiting period.
Wash. Rev. Code § 4.96.020
