Olympia Chooses Cochran Douglas
Our car accident lawyers want quality representation to be available to everyone, no matter their income. We offer free consultations so it costs nothing to meet with a member of our team. We also work on contingency, meaning you owe us nothing unless and until we secure compensation for you.
After an accident, time is of the essence. Our car accident lawyers can often meet with you on the same day. If necessary, we can arrange to meet with you at your home or in your hospital room so we can get started building your case quickly.
Our law firm has never been intimidated by complex cases, large institutions, or aggressive insurance companies. While our team is often able to secure a fair settlement outside the courtroom, we prepare every case for trial and will argue in front of a judge and jury if necessary.
You Have 3 Years to File Get Started Today
The state of Washington gives you three years to file a claim in a car accident case. Failure to file your claim by the deadline can result in your case being thrown out, preventing you from receiving much-needed compensation.
Three years may sound like plenty of time, but time can quickly slip away as you deal with recovering, mounting bills, and more. Our personal injury attorneys can get started on the legal process so you have less to worry about. Reach out to our Tacoma personal injury attorney office for your free consultation today.

What Compensation Can Cover After a Car Accident in Olympia
Compensation our car accident lawyers secure in your case can go toward expenses like:
Medical Bills
After any kind of motor vehicle accident, you could be facing high medical bills for your personal injuries, medication, rehabilitation, and more. Compensation our car accident attorneys secure for you can go toward the medical bills you have now and any you may have in the future.
Lost Wages
Injuries sustained in a car accident can require a recovery period that keeps you away from work, causing you to miss out on much-needed income. Your injuries may also permanently keep you from participating in the same line of work. Compensation won in a car accident case can make up for these lost wages and diminished earning capacity, allowing you to live comfortably.
Property Damage
A car accident can result in a damaged or totaled car and damage to other personal items. Our team of car accident lawyers serving Olympia can calculate the monetary value of your losses and secure money to cover them.
Pain and Suffering
While damages for pain and suffering are harder to quantify because they are non-monetary losses, you can still recover compensation for them. These damages measure the impact the injuries have had on the car accident victim’s life and can include physical pain, long-term complications, disfigurement, mental anguish, reduced quality of life, and more.
Washington Is a Comparative Negligence State
In a pure comparative negligence state, the courts will consider both parties’ actions when determining fault in a personal injury case. Even if you were partially at fault for your accident, you can still recover compensation. For example, if another driver hit your car, but you were speeding at the time, the courts may determine that you were 25% at fault for the accident. This means our award will be reduced by 25%. You can receive compensation even if you’re 99% at fault for your accident.
