VAN DEREN, C.J.

¶ 1 The Port of Kalama appeals from a denial of its summary judgment motion, arguing that Lisa Gates failed to comply with a statutory requirement to file a personally verified administrative claim before commencing her personal injury case. Based on the plain language of the statute in effect when Gates filed her claim, we affirm the trial court's denial of the Port's summary judgment motion and remand for further proceedings.
