Helping injury victims file claims for defective consumer goods.
Corporations reap vast profits from the products we purchase every day. We trust that these products are safe, but what happens when safety rules are broken, and a faulty product hurts a loved one? It costs millions of dollars to modify a product, pull a product from the market, or ensure adequate warnings are placed on potentially dangerous products—which is why manufacturers use their enormous resources to fiercely resist product defect and product warning cases.
SGB will hold these corporations accountable.
If a faulty product has hurt you or someone you love, you need a leading product liability law firm with the knowledge and financial resources to go toe-to-toe with big corporations. You need a top Washington law firm for product liability litigation; SGB is here to help. We stand with other premier law firms and product liability attorneys around the nation on the Leader’s Forum for the American Association for Justice. That means our product liability lawyers are on the cutting edge of product liability law. In fact, we write articles and give seminars on product liability matters that help shape the industry. We have co-authored a book on Washington Product Liability law. Why SGB?
- We are local. We live here and we work here. We know Washington law. If you live in Washington, why would you want a lawyer from Texas, New York, or any other state?
- We will be your product attorneys on the case from start to finish. We aren’t a professional attorney advertiser who just wants you to call the 1-800 number so they can sign you up to then broker out your case to other lawyers, never to be heard from again. Whether we work alone or decide it is in your interest for us to team up with others, we are your lawyer. We are the product liability law firm that will work on your case, and we are available to you at any time.
- When you call us, we’ll listen to you. We won’t keep calling you back or pressure you in any way. The national advertisers probably will.
- We can carefully assess the best location for filing your lawsuit. Sometimes that is in Washington; sometimes that is a different location. We consider all of your options and do what’s best for you.
- You are important to us. You are a person—a treasured client—not a member of case “inventory.” We are not in the business of stockpiling hundreds of product cases for mass production. We represent clients one-by-one. Each case we work on is hand-crafted.

“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.
Frequently Asked Questions
You may. You won’t know until you have contacted a product liability attorney. There are tight timelines for filing a lawsuit, so as soon as you suspect you may have been harmed by a product, bring it to a qualified product liability attorney right away.
You are welcome to, but we don’t think it’s necessarily a good idea. You want to speak to a local law firm, not a national advertiser who collects cases and distributes them. To learn more, see our section on why a local firm is superior to a national one.
