Washington Fault & Insurance Rules

Washington is a pure comparative fault state. You can recover damages regardless of your fault percentage — your recovery is simply reduced by your percentage of fault. Even if you were 90% at fault, you can recover 10% of your damages.

Washington requires minimum liability coverage of 25/50/10. Washington also allows a Certificate of Deposit or bond in lieu of insurance in some cases.

Washington gives injury victims 3 years from the accident date to file a claim (RCW 4.16.080) — longer than most states. However, don’t delay: evidence fades and witnesses become harder to locate. Get your report and consult an attorney promptly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Washington collision reports are managed by the Washington State Patrol (WSP) for state highway accidents. The WSP provides online access through their collision report portal. For city street accidents, contact the local police department directly. Report fees are typically $10 to $15.
While not always legally required, a police report is essential for any significant insurance claim in Washington. It provides official documentation of the accident, the officer’s fault assessment, and witness information. Without a police report, fault disputes are much harder to resolve in your favor and claims take longer to process.
