Washington DC Personal Injury Law: Frequently Asked Questions

What is the statute of limitations for personal injury in Washington DC?

You have 3 years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit in DC (D.C. Code § 12-301). Claims against the DC government require a notice of claim within 6 months.

What negligence rule does Washington DC use?

DC follows pure comparative negligence — your damages are reduced by your percentage of fault. This is more plaintiff-friendly than neighboring Maryland and Virginia, which use contributory negligence.

Should I hire a DC personal injury attorney even for an accident near the state line?

Yes. Accidents near the DC/Maryland/Virginia border can involve complex jurisdiction questions. An experienced DC-area PI attorney can determine which state's law applies and maximize your recovery.
