“I have never been in the situation where I needed a personal injury attorney before. I did not know what to expect and I was extremely anxious. I feel so fortunate to have found Cochran Douglas. Their hard work on my behalf paid off resulting in a very fair settlement.” — Dvmsuz, 5-Star Review

The statute of limitations for personal injury claims in Washington is three years from the date of the injury. However, time flies and that window of opportunity closes fast, causing you to miss out on compensation. Putting an attorney on your side quickly allows us to gather evidence while it’s fresh, build a stronger case, and ensure everything is submitted by the deadlines.

Washington uses a comparative negligence system, so even if you share some responsibility for the accident that caused your injuries, you may still recover damages. However, the amount you can receive will be reduced based on the percentage of fault you are assigned. Our attorneys will work hard to minimize your percentage of fault to maximize your payout.

We know that a lawsuit can be one of the most stressful and challenging events you’ll ever face, especially if you’re still recovering from your injuries. A member of our team will keep you informed on the status of your case every step of the way. If you reach out to us for an update, your call or email will be returned as quickly as possible. We want you to feel supported and have the tools and information you need to make decisions regarding your case.

"Erin really made sure that I was informed at every step and kept me up to date on all the progress in my case. Even when there was no new information Erin sent a quick email saying that they are still waiting on this or that. So I always felt like my case was important to the firm." — Angela, 5-Star Review
