Attorney Grant Rogers’ first career was in finance. He began working during the Great Recession. The job felt impersonal and too much like a sales position. He wanted to help people directly.. So, Grant pursued a career in law. Knowing he wanted to make a positive impact in people’s lives led him to study personal injury law. Grant was hired by a local personal injury firm right after graduating from the University of Oklahoma College of Law. He quickly developed a reputation for taking on — and winning — complicated cases.. Grant's hallmarks are thorough investigation and great client communication. Licensed to practice law in Texas and Oklahoma, he builds strong injury claims for car wrecks, truck accidents, and pedestrian accidents as well as slip and falls and other injury claims.. When Grant isn’t investigating accidents and meeting with clients, he is spending time with his wife and three children, brewing pour-over coffee, taking on weekend projects around the house, and watching OU football games.

I have a degree in accounting that helps me crunch numbers better than most, from U of W. I've been a die-hard Husky since the 70s, Go Dawgs!. With my wife, I rescue and re-home dogs, particularly older or injured dogs that don't have a lot of hope to escape euthanasia. We have helped chihuahuas, papillons, pit bulls, labs, corgis, bulldogs, cattle dogs, schipperkes, rottweilers, retrievers, collies, and everything in between.. I am a member of WOOFD2, a club for participants in frisbee dog sports. My dog Babe was a state champion who toured the country and even went to Canada to promote her sport.. I enjoy fishing, golfing, boating, skiing, bowling, and all sorts of other sports. I have been a member of National Ski Patrol for 5 years, and I love to ski the Summit at Snoqualmie. (Though nothing compares to Whistler Blackcomb or Big White!). In my free time (of which I have very little) I can be found reading sports and political biographies, grilling on my deck, or hanging out watching the Golf Channel.

I am a partner in the Swanson Gardner Meyers Cohon, PLLC law firm in Renton, Washington. We exclusively represent individuals who have been injured by the negligence or intentional conduct of others. We handle all types of personal injury, automobile accident, wrongful death, medical negligence, products liability, and assault cases.. I grew up in western Washington and graduated from the University of Washington with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science in 1989. I earned my J.D. from Willamette University College of Law in 1993.. After law school I clerked for a trial judge in Pierce County and then served as a Deputy Prosecutor in the Criminal Division of the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s office from 1993 – 2000, where I tried numerous cases before King County juries, argued multiple cases before the the Washington State Court of Appeals, and arguedseveral times before the Washington State Supreme Court.. I entered private practice in 2000, worked for several years as an insurance defense lawyer with a large Seattle firm, and then opened my own practice in 2005 representing clients with personal injury claims.. I joined my friend and colleague Todd Gardner and the Swanson Gardner firm in 2008 ( initially while also running my own practice) and have worked full time with Todd since 2010. I became a named partner in the firm (Swanson Gardner Meyers)in 2015. We added partner Dylan Cohon in 2021 (Swanson Gardner Meyers Cohon).. Our firm, Swanson Gardner Meyers Cohon, PLLC, (“SGMC”) is one of the most respected and successful plaintiff personal injury, wrongful death and medical negligence law firms in the State of Washington. We are a firm of trial lawyers, focusing entirely on obtaining fair compensation for clients who have been injured or who have lost loved ones due to the negligence of others. Our philosophy is simple: preparation and hard work win cases. The attorneys and staff at Swanson SGMC do their best to secure results for their clients because they tap their experience and professionalism to out-prepare and outwork the opposing insurance companies and the defense.. While the firm and its lawyers have earned many awards over the years, results matter. In 2021, we represented the family of Sarah Wong, a 19-year-old college student killed in the 2019 tower crane collapse at the Google Building in downtown Seattle. Our office was a leader in that litigation, which resulted in at total recovery in settlements and verdicts of over $110 million for our clients. In 2019, we obtained a $65 million settlement for a woman injured in a two-vehicle collision in Seattle. 2013, we achieved a $50 million verdict on behalf of our clients in a complex and lengthy medical negligence case involving negligence in genetic testing, which remains one of the largest personal injury verdicts in Washington history and one of the largest in U.S. history for a case of its type. In recent years, the firm has obtained jury verdicts in other cases of over $1,000,000 fourteen times and obtained multiple verdicts in excess of $10 million.. We prepare every case for trial, believing strongly that this always results in greater compensation for our clients, but the decision to try a case to verdict or settle before trial is always the client’s decision. Direct client communication and immediate response to client needs are core values at our firm. We are a small, efficient firm with a strong team of experienced trial lawyers, paralegals and staff who have worked together for many years. Client questions and concerns are answered quickly and directly, and clients are always kept well informed.. We believe the attorney-client relationship is important and that both the attorney and the client should enter into this relationship carefully. We are not a “high pressure” sales firm. We do not advertise and, instead, most of our clients come to us through referral from former clients, colleagues, and others in the community who know our reputation. We take all of our cases on a contingency fee basis, requiring no fee until our work is complete and the client has recovered compensation. We will, in most cases, advance costs to prevent clients from having to pay out-of-pocket expenses while we prepare the case. In every case we will communicate directly with the client’s personal injury protection (PIP) insurance carrier and health insurance carrier to secure all available insurance coverage while the case proceeds.. We are experienced in many types of personal injury and wrongful death claims, including claims involving medical negligence, traumatic brain injury, automobile collisions, pedestrian accidents, bicycle accidents, defective highway design, defective products, hazardous substances, dog bites and sexual assault. On behalf of injured clients, we also pursue insurance companies directly in Underinsured Motorist (UIM) claims and in claims for bad faith, breach of contract, for violations of the Washington Insurance Fair Conduct Act (IFCA) and the Washington Consumer Protection Act (CPA).

I am a tireless advocate of my clients first and foremost, but outside of my job I do enjoy other things legal and non-legal alike. I volunteer with the First Responders Will Clinic writing wills for  Washington's first responders, and I spend time reading legal guides and articles to help sharpen my in office skills. When I am not focused on the law I like to garden, hike, swim, and go to as many games at Safeco as I can. I followed in my grandfather's and father's footsteps when it comes to amassing grand amounts of baseball knowledge. Watching and playing baseball is essential to my well being.

Here’s the Story…. You’ve been hurt.  Or someone in your family’s been hurt.  You’re looking for someone to help.  It’s important to hire someone who shares your values and is going to maximize the value of your case.. The Myers & Company page of our website tells you about how we run our business and handle our cases.  This tells you a little bit more about me.. It All Started With Soccer. I’m very competitive.  And I like hard work.  When I was growing up I devoted a tremendous amount of effort and energy into soccer.  I loved the “beautiful game.”  When I was 12 years old I juggled the soccer ball over 1,000 times without letting it touch the ground.. My competitive streak was fueled by my soccer coach, Bruce.  Bruce was Scottish.  He was probably the most competitive person I ever met.  Bruce was almost, but not quite, good enough to play professional soccer.  He was probably 30 when we met.  It was not unusual for him to slide tackle 11 or 12 year olds on the concrete playfield where we practiced when it was too muddy to train on the regular pitch.. The hard work and great coaching paid off.  I was recruited and ended up playing soccer at Stanford.  Even though I’ve continued playing at a high level (including a 2007 Over-40 National Championship with Seattle’s TA-2), success at this point is measured by friendships that started on the soccer field.. I’m looking forward to making the transition into coaching and taking my girls to the Sounders.  (We’re huge fans and couldn’t be more excited to have top level professional soccer back in Seattle).. Love and Marriage. I waited a long time to get married and have a family.  It has given me a new perspective on how an injury can affect the whole family.. At first it was just me, my wife Shera and our cats.  But then Juniper and Olivia joined us.. It’s cliché, but having kids changes everything.  Or, at the very least, puts a new spin on life.  They’re the focal point of just about every decision we make and just about everything we do.  They’re a source of constant delight.  And they’ve made me incredibly efficient—not a second’s wasted during the day.. Selectivity: A Key to Success. Over the first 20 years of my career I achieved a lot of professional success.  It’s a source of pride.  But more importantly, it’s given me the opportunity to be selective about the cases I take.. Selectivity ties directly into the “life ethic.”  I like working hard on good cases and for good clients.  It just so happens that those are the cases that are usually the most profitable.  (It’s important to hire an attorney that runs a profitable firm.  Attorneys who make money are in a position to make the best decisions about whether cases should settle or go to trial.  No reason to be shy…before hiring an attorney, ask him or her how much money they made last year).. It’s important to me to have enough time to spend with my family and do the things that – outside of the law – are really important to me.. One of those things is to ride my bike to work.  I’m fortunate that my route takes me through the Arboretum and along Interlaken Park.  On the way to work I have time to start thinking about my day and how I’m going to make money for our clients.  On the way home I can decompress and start thinking about what I’m going to do with the twins.. Skiing consumes the winter and spring.  During the past couple of years I’ve been doing a lot more slackcountry skiing.  Even though it’s more work, the sense of accomplishment (and untracked snow) are ample rewards.. Conflict and Resolution. There are few things I like more than conflict and resolution.  That’s probably why I decided to become a lawyer.. Hard work, creativity and aggression get cases resolved.  And resolving cases is really what we’re here to do for clients.  It’s how we add value.. Most of the time we resolve cases by settling them.  But, sometimes, there are disagreements that can’t be resolved without going to trial.. Trial is scary and exhilarating.  Conflicts get resolved at trial.  And there’s no bigger stage to display all the hard work that’s gone into preparing the case and, most importantly, for you to tell the jury about what happened and how it has affected you.. For me, the first day of trial is like standing at the top of a steep, rocky, exposed slope.  Basically a no-fall zone.  The stakes are high…but so is the potential reward.. On skis you push off, make a decisive pole plant and initiate your first turn.  Once you’re in the moment there’s nothing better.  The same thing’s true with trial.  I’m taut with nerves waiting to address the potential jurors on the first day of trial.  But once I stand up and introduce myself there’s nothing better.. When you hire a trial lawyer you need to pick someone who really likes going to trial and isn’t going to flinch when the chips are down.. Learning Something New. Maybe it’s part of the conflict and resolution mindset, but I’m not satisfied with the status quo.  This means that our house is almost always under a state of remodel and I’m constantly trying to improve the way we handle cases.. It also means that I’m always interested in trying new things.  Fortunately my wife is a tremendous sport (and usually endorses these exploits).. Wrap Up. That’s a lot about me.  I hope it helps.  If we end up working together I’m going to make you tell me everything about you.  That way, we’ll be even.  More importantly, it will help me tell your story and maximize the value of your case.
