Washington, DC, Product Liability Attorney
Products are part of our everyday lives. Consumers purchase and use these products — at home, at work, in the car, under doctor's orders — with reasonable expectations that the products are safe to use. Consumers expect that products have been properly designed and properly manufactured. They expect retailers to pull dangerous products off the shelves and to warn when dangers exist. When safety measures are overlooked, innocent people can become seriously injured or even die as a result. Bhagat & Associates offers experienced legal help to those who have been injured by dangerous and defective products.

Who Can Be Held Responsible in a Product Liability Claim?
Generally, there are generally three parties that can be held liable for a defective product: the designer, manufacturer and retailer. In some situations, the marketer can be held responsible. The firm's lawyer, Raj K. Bhagat, has 25 years of legal experience. He thoroughly researches each product liability claim to uncover how the product was defective and what party or parties is responsible for the defect. Bhagat & Associates provides thorough and dedicated legal help to people who have been injured by products such as the following:
- Automobile: brake failure, airbag failure and other faulty equipment
- Household: defective lawnmower, chain saws and children's toys
- Prescription medication: Vioxx, Paxil, Ortho Evra, Heparin and many others
The above list is just a sampling of the types of defective products used daily by consumers. If you believe you or your loved one has been harmed by a product not listed, please contact the firm to schedule your consultation with an attorney. Product liability cases can also involve inadequate warnings about the dangers inherent to certain products.
Seeking Fair Compensation for Your Losses
The firm represents clients who have been seriously injured by defective products and family members who have lost loved ones in accidental deaths. The firm seeks maximum compensation allowed under product liability laws. Compensation can be obtained for injuries, medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering.
