Pedestrian Accident Lawyer
Motor vehicle accidents are a danger to all, but pedestrians are among the most vulnerable to serious or fatal injury.
If you or a loved one have suffered injuries, contact Cochran Douglas for a free consultation. Our pedestrian accident attorneys in Tacoma, WA, can provide aggressive legal representation and tireless support.
It’s Important to Contact a Lawyer as Soon as You Possibly Can
There’s no time to waste when it comes to securing legal aid in the aftermath of a pedestrian injury. A skilled pedestrian accident lawyer can gather and preserve evidence from the scene, collect witness statements and police reports, consult with medical experts, and handle other matters that aid with your insurance claim. Perhaps most importantly, they can also represent you in all correspondence with the other driver’s insurance company.
It’s almost certain that the other driver’s insurance will offer you a settlement value far below what you truly need to move forward with your life, which opens the door to file a personal injury lawsuit. In Washington State, injured parties have only three years to file a claim, making it all the more crucial to contact an injury lawyer as soon as you are able.
Cochran Douglas’ pedestrian accident lawyers in Tacoma are prepared to do all of the above, and more, in efforts towards your financial recovery. Learn what your injury case may be worth during your free consultation.
Why Cochran Douglas?
Sole Focus on Personal Injury
Our pedestrian accident lawyers in Tacoma have dedicated their careers to the sole practice of personal injury law and the areas within, from car accidents and pedestrian accidents to defective products and cases in which the government is liable for the injury of private citizens. Focusing exclusively on personal injury allows Loren Cochran and Cole Douglas to commit more time, attention, and resources to the cases they take.
Personalized and Convenient Legal Services
We are a low-volume firm that provides top-quality service. When you work with us, you work with Cole and Loren — you won’t be passed off to a paralegal. Your calls and messages receive immediate attention, and you'll never be left in the dark. If you are currently recovering from a pedestrian accident injury, your consultation can be held in the hospital or the comfort of your home.
Free Consultations and Contingency Representation
Reach out to Cochran Douglas’ Tacoma personal injury office to learn whether you have a case at no cost to you. If we move forward together, you won’t pay us anything unless we return a settlement or jury award in your favor. Any payment we do collect will be a reasonable portion of the recovery.
No Additional Fees if We Go to Trial
Your injury attorney will do everything within their power to settle out of court, but going to trial may be the strongest available avenue to recover the full amount your pedestrian accident case is worth. While some law firms attach an extra fee for trial, at Cochran Douglas, your rate stays the same. Our Tacoma team believes overcoming unexpected hurdles as they arise is part of good service.
A Track Record of Success
The personal injury attorneys at Cochran Douglas have obtained seven- and eight-figure victories on behalf of Washingtonians injured by the negligence of others. We share them as assurance to prospective clients that we will handle their cases with the full gravity and commitment they deserve.
"Cole Douglas helped me through a very stressful process, one which I would have bailed out several times if not for his ongoing support and reassurance... Cole guided me every step of the way; he, Ella, and Loren are an exceptional team, professional and sensitive to client’s needs. The outcome far exceeded my expectations, I highly recommended this firm without hesitation."

Pedestrian Rights in Washington
Washington requires drivers to exercise a standard of “due care” behind the wheel to protect the safety of everyone on the road. Examples of driving with due care include:
- Stopping for pedestrians at crosswalks and intersections
- Looking carefully before turning
- Driving at the speed limit or less
- Not using handheld devices while driving
- Not driving while under the influence or deprived of sleep
- Using appropriate headlight settings at night and in poor weather conditions
If the driver who caused your injuries failed to meet the standards above, it’s likely time for you to contact a pedestrian accident attorney.
We Can Find Hit-and-Run Drivers
The driver who caused your accident is liable to cover medical expenses related to your injuries through their insurance. In the unconscionable event that the driver flees the scene, a pedestrian accident lawyer can help you track them down.
Drivers in hit-and-run pedestrian accidents are subject to additional penalties, and victims may recover additional compensation. You don’t deserve to get left hanging. Cochran Douglas is prepared to put our connections and resources to work so that justice is achieved.
