I am so grateful to have had Cole Douglas and Loren Cochran in my corner on more than one occasion. They patiently listened to the sensitive, and often awkward, details of my stories and I always felt heard and never judged. I was new to all of this, and they were always willing to answer any of my questions and they explained the legal process to me in detail and kept me updated throughout the process. I was always treated with respect and kindness. I will always look to them for any future legal advice and I highly recommend them to anyone who needs assistance.

What Is a Personal Injury?

In civil law, a personal injury is any type of injury that is caused by another party. If any person or business entity acts in a negligent or careless manner that leads to bodily harm for you or a loved one, you may have a personal injury case. We handle cases such as:

We Specialize in Auto Injuries

Though we handle many practice areas, our personal injury attorneys have extensive experience with traffic-related accidents, including:

In vehicle collision cases, our Tacoma lawyers can help clients pursue a diminished value claim. They can also provide valuable counsel if your accident involves an uninsured motorist or a driver under the influence. If your insurance company is violating contract laws and treating you unfairly, you may have a bad faith insurance claim, and we can fight for your rights.

Compensation Can Cover Many Types of Losses

The damages in personal injury litigation are typically the losses you experience because of an accident or incident of wrongdoing. These can include:

  • Medical care costs
  • Loss of income
  • Property loss and damage
  • Physical pain and suffering
  • Emotional trauma
  • Quality-of-life losses, such as loss of enjoyment or loss of consortium with a spouse

We Handle Wrongful Death Cases

If your loved one has succumbed to injuries sustained in an accident that wasn't their fault, you have our deepest condolences. We know no amount of compensation can bring them back, but we can put you in a position to safeguard your family's well-being and future by helping you secure financial compensation for your loss.

Understanding Laws Specific to Washington

The Statute of Limitations

In the State of Washington, the statute of limitations for wrongful death and personal injury claims is three years. If your claim is not filed within three years of the victim's death or injury, the courts will most likely refuse to hear it. It takes approximately three to six months to settle most cases, so don't wait to reach out to our Tacoma attorneys. Starting now puts you in a much stronger position.

Comparative Fault

Although Washington does not allow punitive damages for civil cases, our state’s comparative fault rules treat accident victims fairly. If you were partially to blame for an accident, you may still receive compensation. Cochran Douglas will conduct a comprehensive investigation to help you prove your case. If another party is liable for your injuries, we will work to obtain and clarify the evidence.

We Can Set You Up for Success "You won’t regret picking this firm!"
