Description

Douglas L. Johnston filed a claim for damages with the City of Seattle and filed a personal injury action against the City one day before the statute of limitations was set to expire. The City moved for summary Judgement dismissal of the personal injury action, contending that Johnston failed to wait 60 days after filing his claim before he commenced action as required by Seattle Municipal Code 5.24.005 and RCW 4.96.020. In response, Johnson maintained that SMC 5.24.005, which states that a claimant wait 60 days after filing a claim before commencing legal action unless the statute of limitations will expire, exempted him from the 60-day waiting period. The trial court granted the Citys motion for summary Judgement, and Johnston appeals.
