In an uninsured motorist claim, does the statute of limitations apply to the state your policy was contracted in, the state of accident, or state in which you currently live?

Question Details:

The accident occurred in 4 years ago in LA . We are a military family so we move a lot. The insurance policy at the time of the accident was contracted in KS. We began the uninsured motorist claim while living in FL. We now live in WA and are still working to negotiate a settlement. I don't want the statute of limitations to expire before we have reached a settlement or decided to arbitrate. Is the statute of limitations based on KS state law where the policy was contracted, FL where the claim was initiated, LA where the accident occurred, or WA where we are currently stationed?
