Defective Products

Products can injure if they are defectively designed or defectively manufactured. A product can also be defective if it fails to warn about certain risks of use. Manufacturers and distributors of products can be held liable for defective products.

If you have been injured, it is important to have a Washington lawyer evaluate any personal injury claim you may have. The law provides strict deadlines for bringing personal injury claims. It is critical that you contact an attorney if you think that you may have a claim. A Washington personal injury attorney at Vangelisti Kocher LLP can provide you a free consultation to discuss your injuries and legal rights.
