Defective products rarely announce themselves. The products people rely on every day, from medical devices to workplace equipment to consumer goods, are expected to meet basic standards of safety. When they do not, the consequences can be serious and lasting. By the time harm becomes undeniable, the financial and physical consequences are already compounding. Dubin Law Group works with injured individuals across Seattle and Washington who were hurt by products that should never have reached them in that condition. Our team is ready to discuss your situation with a Seattle product liability lawyer and help you understand what options are available.
At the Dubin Law Group, our Seattle lawyers fight to get the best possible result in personal injury cases of all types. Our team of attorneys brings nearly 200 years of cumulative experience to these cases.
Product liability refers to the legal responsibility a manufacturer, distributor, or seller holds when a product causes harm. Under RCW 7.72.010, a product liability claim includes any action brought for harm caused by the manufacture, design, assembly, testing, warnings, instructions, packaging, or labeling of a product. Washington law covers a broad range of legal theories under this definition, including strict liability, negligence, breach of warranty, and failure to warn.
This matters because the path to accountability depends on how the harm occurred. A design defect affects every unit produced. A manufacturing defect may be limited to a single batch. A failure to warn claim turns on whether the seller adequately communicated known risks to consumers. Each theory requires a different type of evidence and a different analysis of who in the supply chain bears responsibility for the injury.
Fault in a product liability case is not simply a matter of identifying who made the product. Washington law requires a closer look at whether the product was reasonably safe and whether the harm could have been prevented through a different design, better manufacturing controls, or adequate warnings.
According to RCW 7.72.030, a manufacturer is subject to liability when a product was not reasonably safe as designed, or when adequate warnings or instructions were not provided. A product is considered not reasonably safe as designed when the likelihood and seriousness of harm outweigh the burden on the manufacturer to adopt a safer, practical alternative.
Negligence plays a central role in this analysis. Negligence is the failure to behave with the level of care a reasonable person would have exercised under the same circumstances, and it can arise from either actions taken or actions omitted. In product liability cases, that standard applies to everyone along the supply chain, from the engineers who designed the product to the distributors who placed it into commerce.
Establishing fault requires connecting the product’s deficiency to the specific harm the injured person suffered. Medical records, product testing data, internal communications, and industry safety standards all become relevant during that process. In cases involving technical defects, analysis of how the product performed under normal use conditions can be decisive in determining where responsibility lies and which parties in the chain contributed to the outcome.
Product liability cases arise across many industries and product categories. The type of defect determines which legal theory applies and how the investigation proceeds. Claims we handle include:
A successful product liability claim in Washington can address both the economic and personal toll the injury has created. The categories of recoverable damages depend on the facts of the case, the severity of the harm, and how the injury has affected the claimant’s daily life and financial stability. Damages may include:
Each category requires documentation. Medical records, employment history, financial records, and testimony from treating providers all contribute to a complete damages picture.
No Fees Unless We Win
Product liability cases involve multiple parties, complex technical evidence, and well-funded opposition. Manufacturers and their insurers typically retain defense teams early, and they move quickly to control the narrative around what caused the injury and whether their product was at fault. Going into that environment without an experienced Seattle product liability lawyer puts injured people at a significant disadvantage.
We investigate promptly. Evidence that establishes the connection between a product defect and a specific injury can degrade or disappear quickly, and early action makes a practical difference in how complete the case becomes. Our team reviews medical records, identifies all potentially responsible parties across the supply chain, and brings in co-counsel or technical professionals when the nature of the defect requires specialized reconstruction or analysis.
Defense teams for large manufacturers are experienced at minimizing claims, disputing causation, and shifting focus away from product deficiencies. We anticipate those strategies and prepare accordingly, building a documented record that addresses the most common points of resistance before they become obstacles. That preparation shapes how negotiations proceed and how the case is positioned if litigation becomes necessary.
From the first review of your records through final resolution, we focus on presenting the clearest possible account of what the defective product cost you, financially and personally. Every case we take receives detailed attention, direct communication, and a commitment to pursuing the fair recovery the evidence supports.
