If you are suffering from an injury because your cell phone caught on fire, it is important to seek medical attention immediately, and to discuss your situation with Arlington VA product defect lawyers as soon after your injury as you can.

Any time a person gets injured in the United States because of someone else’s negligence, they may be entitled to compensation from the party or parties whose negligence caused their injuries. When it comes to a defective or dangerous product, there is a whole chain of parties whose negligence may be in part or the whole cause of your injuries. A cell phone is no different.
