Can I bring a civil lawsuit against a night club and the bouncer after I was attacked by bouncer in WA state

In Washington, the statute of limitations for your cause of action is ticking away, but has not yet expired. If you honestly believe you have been wronged or harmed unjustly, consult an excellent attorney and pursue your cause of action. If you were wrongfully attacked and harmed, you deserve compensation and those responsible should be the ones to pay.

Cases such as yours tend to be lengthy and costly. You may find an attorney that will take your case on a contingency basis to help you stay some of the costs in the short term. Any good attorney will be sure that you fully understand what type of fee agreement you may enter into.

These cases also tend to be difficult from a witness and evidence standpoint. Most of the evidence (perhaps even including the police report) is going to boil down to a "your word against theirs" case, and evidence may be difficult to gather at this point. Sometimes, essential witnesses move and can 't be found. Other times, key witnesses that will testify against you can be found, and the court finds them highly credible.

From your facts above, the part where you state "I ... ended up arguing with the club owner and bouncer" is of concern. The potential defendants in this case include the club, the club owner, and the bouncer, and they will not allow a judgment against against them and in your favor without a real LEGAL fight.

All that said, if you believe the evidence is in your favor, an attorney will be able to help you seek the just compensation for your injuries that you definitely deserve.

Good luck, and all the best.

You need to consult a Washington attorney to make sure the statute of limitations is not up. In most states for personal injuries the statute uis fairly short; in CA it is a year. Why are you suddenly interested in doing this 2 years later?
