Farmers Insurance v. Waxman Industries, 132 Wn. App. 142 (Div. I, 2006)
Mar 20, 2006OUTCOME: My client won on appeal.
I obtained a default judgment against Waxman Industries, a company that sold, but did not manufacture, a product. The manufacturer convinced the trial court to vacate the default. I appealed the matt ... er to the Washington State Court of Appeals which ruled in my client's favor and reinstated the default judgment. The Court held Waxman was a "manufacturer" and had the liability of a manufacturer, despite not manufacturing it, because it put its trade name on the product.
