Can I email an intent to sue?
I understand you're considering sending an intent to sue via email. Have you already tried to resolve the issue with the other party directly?
I attempted contact to no avail.
Are you looking to send the intent to sue yourself, or are you seeking legal advice on how to proceed with this matter?
Myself.
Is there anything else the Lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured they'll be able to help with your intent to sue.
The statute of limitations is up on Monday the 4th.

I am seeking damages from WA Department of Corrections. Where do I file?
It sounds like the federal district court where the event occurred.
Does an intent to sue letter save the statute of limitations?
No.
You typically would have to file the lawsuit.
Can I do that in one day?
Possibly it could be filed in a day.
Can you tell me the appropriate courthouse to file a lawsuit over $100k in King County, WA? Non-civil rights. I was not an inmate, so state, not federal, correct?
It sounds like a Section 1983 civil rights federal case.
Typically you would file in the federal district court where the incident occurred.
I was paralyzed by an undersupervised parolee.
Ok.
Please let me know if you have any additional questions I can help with.
What courthouse do I file in?
Typically in the federal district court where the incident occurred.
Even for non-civil rights cases?
If you are filing a case against a government entity it is typically always a federal Section 1983 civil rights case.
Ok.
Please let me know if you have any additional questions I can help with.
Good luck moving forward.
