With the risk of injury or death posed by firearms, businesses and property owners may also be liable if they do not have adequate security in place to protect patrons and tenants.
In addition, Washington State firearm laws are evolving in ways that are creating more opportunities to hold gun manufacturers, sellers, and owners accountable for the harm caused by their weapons.
In 2023, new legislation was passed that creates a pathway for victims and survivors of gun violence to hold the firearm industry accountable for wrongful and dangerous business practices and ensure that victims have a method to seek justice.
Read more about what that means for victims of firearms crimes in an article by SGB attorney Julie Kline.

“Great attention to detail, compassion and dedication”
My husband was diagnosed with mesothelioma and we reached out to Kaitlin to represent us, we are so grateful we did. Kaitlin not only knows everything about asbestos law, but she was the most caring attorney we've dealt with. This was a difficult time for us, but Kaitlin made us feel we could leave it up to her.
