Description
Plaintiff, a minor, suffered a knee injury while playing rugby during a high school physical education class. After the accident occurred, the plaintiffs father consulted the defendant Lackey, the school principal, who notified the school superintendent and the schools insurance carrier. The plaintiff, his father, and the defendant Lackey were all unaware of the existence of RCW 4.96.020 (a "nonclaim" statute) which provides that tort claims against political subdivisions, municipal and quasi-municipal corporations must be filed within 120 days from the date the cause of action arose. About 11 months after the plaintiffs injury occurred he filed his claim; subsequently he commenced this action. The defendant school district was dismissed because of the plaintiffs failure to file within the 120-day period. Plaintiff appeals from this order of dismissal, and also objects to the trial courts refusal to grant a change of venue in the suit remaining against the individual defendants.
