Personal Injury Lawyer FAQs
Washington's personal injury statute of limitations is three years from the date of the injury (RCW 4.16.080). The deadline applies regardless of which county the injury happened in. Claims against state or local government agencies often carry shorter notice deadlines, sometimes 60 days or less. Cochran Douglas can confirm the deadline that applies to your case at the consultation.
Cochran Douglas takes Washington personal injury cases on a contingency-fee basis. There is no retainer, no hourly billing, and no fee unless the case results in a recovery. The fee percentage stays the same whether the case settles or goes to verdict, which removes any incentive for the firm to settle below the case's value to avoid trial.
No. The Tacoma office is the firm's only physical location, but Cochran Douglas attorneys travel across the state for client meetings when the case warrants it. Hospital, rehabilitation-center, and home consultations are routine for catastrophically injured clients. Virtual consultations are also available. The initial consultation is free.
