These forms provide a standard format for the filing, service, and response to pleadings in civil cases. The forms are created by the Washington State Supreme Court and are updated as necessary. The most commonly used Washington Forms of Pleadings are Complaints, Answers, Counterclaims, and Cross-Complaints. A Complaint is the initial filing by the plaintiff that outlines the facts of the case and the legal claims that the plaintiff is making. An Answer is the response to the Complaint by the defendant, which either admits or denies the allegations in the Complaint. A Counterclaim is an additional legal claim that is made by the defendant against the plaintiff. Finally, a Cross-Complaint is a claim that is made by the defendant against a third party who is not named in the original Complaint.
