Why Federal Way Clients Hire Cochran Douglas
Many personal injury firms market themselves as trial lawyers but rarely see the inside of a courtroom. At Cochran Douglas, trial preparation is the foundation of every case. When an insurance company or defendant will not negotiate fairly, we are ready to take the case to a King County jury.
South King County sees high volumes of motor vehicle injuries because three commuter routes (I-5, Highway 18, SR-99) run through the area. Cochran Douglas knows the corridors, the problem intersections, and the liability picture that typically follows a crash here. That local knowledge shortens discovery and strengthens the case.
At Cochran Douglas, you work directly with the attorney handling your case, not a case manager or junior associate. Loren Cochran, Cole Douglas, or Tiffany Wilke personally evaluates every claim, signs the engagement, and stays with the case through verdict or settlement.

Serving Federal Way
South King County sits between Tacoma and Seattle, fed by three of the busiest commuter routes in Washington: I-5, Highway 18, and SR-99. Injury cases that come out of the area often involve high-speed collisions, commercial trucks, and multi-vehicle pile-ups. Dash Point State Park, on the western edge of the city, occasionally produces bike, pedestrian, and water-recreation injury cases.
The Cochran Douglas team is based at our Tacoma office, about 20 minutes south. For catastrophically injured clients, in-person meetings are arranged at the hospital, the rehabilitation center, or the home where you are recovering.
Cases heading to trial are filed in King County Superior Court, located in Seattle, or at the Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent, depending on the case. Cochran Douglas is experienced in both venues.

Personal Injury Lawyer FAQs
How long do I have to file a personal injury case in Washington?
If you're looking for an injury lawyer in Tacoma, WA, or nearby, it's important to know that Washington's personal injury statute of limitations is three years from the date of the injury (RCW 4.16.080). Claims against government entities can carry shorter notice deadlines. Cochran Douglas can confirm your specific deadline at the consultation.
How much does it cost to hire Cochran Douglas?
Cochran Douglas works on a contingency-fee basis: you pay nothing unless we win. The fee percentage stays the same once a lawsuit is filed, which means the firm is not penalized for taking your case to trial if the other side refuses to negotiate fairly.
Do I need to come to Tacoma for a consultation?
No. The Cochran Douglas team meets clients wherever is most convenient: at the hospital, the rehabilitation center, your home, or our Tacoma office. The initial consultation is free.
What types of injury cases does the firm handle in Federal Way?
Cochran Douglas handles car accidents, foster care abuse, sexual assault, wrongful death, personal injury, catastrophic injury, medical malpractice, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, and nursing home abuse for clients across Washington.
