Our contingency rate is locked in from the day you sign. If your case settles early or goes the distance at trial, the number does not change. No surprises, no escalation clauses, which means you can focus on recovery.
Meetings That Fit Your Life
Recovering from an injury is a full-time job on its own. We offer consultations by Zoom, by phone, at your home, or at the hospital, so you never have to rearrange your day to talk to your lawyer.
Local Knowledge of Clark County Roads
Vancouver's cross-river commute on I-5 and I-205 creates some of the most congested and crash-prone corridors in the state. From bridge backups and chain-reaction pileups to high-speed collisions on Highway 14 and Highway 500, we understand how these roads contribute to serious injuries.
"I can't say enough amazing things in this review. I felt like my personal interests were paramount. I definitely feel like this firm worked tirelessly for me and absolutely secured as much of a settlement as possible. I couldn't be happier! Thank you!" — Angela, 5-Star Review
Legal Services in Vancouver, WA
Cochran Douglas represents Vancouver clients in the following practice areas:
We stand with survivors. Our attorneys have won significant settlements against institutions, agencies, and organizations that enabled abuse or failed to act when they had a duty to protect. Every detail of your case stays confidential.
Children placed into the foster system deserve protection, not harm. When state agencies or caregivers violate that trust, we pursue full accountability, and we have the results to prove it.
The I-5 Interstate Bridge and I-205 Glenn Jackson Bridge are bottleneck points where rear-end collisions, lane-change crashes, and multi-vehicle pileups happen regularly during peak commute hours. Highway 14 and Highway 500 add to the risk with high-speed merging traffic.
Injuries caused by someone else's negligence take many forms: a fall in a commercial building, a defective consumer product, a reckless driver. Whatever the cause, our team builds cases designed to recover every dollar you are owed.
No legal outcome can undo the loss of a family member. But holding the responsible parties accountable can provide financial stability and a measure of justice. We represent Vancouver families pursuing wrongful death claims arising from crashes, medical negligence, and more.
Personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits arising in Vancouver are filed in Clark County Superior Court, located at 1200 Franklin Street in Vancouver. Our attorneys are prepared to litigate in Clark County with the same level of familiarity and confidence we demonstrate in every area we serve.

Loren Cochran
Loren is a founding partner and a Super Lawyers honoree every year since 2014. Before practicing law, he worked in television news, a background that sharpened his ability to tell a client's story clearly and persuasively in front of a jury. He focuses on sexual abuse, civil rights, wrongful death, and catastrophic injury cases.
A Super Lawyers Rising Star and "40 Under 40" honoree, Cole graduated cum laude from Seattle University Law School. He handles complex personal injury, wrongful death, and sex abuse litigation, and clients consistently cite his direct communication and hands-on involvement in their cases.
Tiffany joined Cochran Douglas as an associate and has since been named a partner. She earned top honors in Trial Advocacy during law school and now represents clients in motor vehicle collisions, catastrophic injury, and wrongful death cases throughout Washington.
Why should I hire a Tacoma-based firm for my Vancouver case?
Cochran Douglas represents clients across all of Washington, and our attorneys are prepared to litigate in Clark County Superior Court with the same confidence we bring to Pierce County and King County cases. We handle consultations by Zoom or travel to you in Vancouver, so distance is never a barrier to getting experienced representation.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim?
Washington allows three years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit (RCW 4.16.080). Claims involving government entities may carry shorter notice deadlines. Acting sooner gives your legal team more time to preserve evidence and build a stronger case.
What if my accident happened on the I-5 or I-205 bridge between Oregon and Washington?
Jurisdiction for bridge crashes depends on where the collision occurred. Washington and Oregon each have authority over their respective portions of the Interstate Bridge and Glenn Jackson Bridge. If your accident happened on the Washington side, your case would typically be filed in Clark County. Cochran Douglas can help determine the correct jurisdiction during your free consultation.
