Woodward v. Taylor

¶1 — Under the Uniform Conflict of Laws — Limitations Act, chapter 4.18 RCW, the statute of limitations of the state where the claim is substantively based applies. Here, while the driver, the passengers, and the vehicle owner were from Washington, the automobile accident occurred in Idaho.

We affirm the trial court’s dismissal of the claim as barred by Idaho’s two-year statute of limitations.
