Much of our firm's product liability work involves defending pharmaceutical and medical device companies that are sued for alleged problems with their products or devices.

Our firm's experience in the product liability area also includes serving as local counsel in the defense of mass tort lawsuits of national importance, for products including, for example, IUDs, breast implants, and heart valves.

Our litigation practice group was proud to have been one of four law firms selected from around the country to represent the State of Washington in its lawsuit against all the major tobacco companies. The settlement of that lawsuit, together with similar lawsuits later filed by 43 other states, resulted in the largest settlement in American history.

Besides bringing experience and expertise to product liability cases, we also bring our strong connections to the local health care community. As a result, we can easily identify and have access to treating and prescribing physicians whose services can be invaluable in successfully resolving a product liability case.
