Description
John L. O'Connor petitioned for discretionary review of a partial summary judgment holding him liable to Ethel and Walter Bush for legal malpractice. We accepted review. The Bushes alleged Mr. O'Connor negligently failed to file an action against State Farm, their underinsured motorist (UIM) carrier, before the effective date of the tort reform act of 1986, Laws of 1986, ch. 305. We hold Mr. O'Connor correctly determined Washington law did not apply to the Bushes' action. We therefore reverse the partial summary judgment obtained by the Bushes, and direct entry of summary judgment in Mr. O'Connor's favor.
