Chicago Product Liability Lawyer

Nearly every day of our life, we use any number of consumer products. We trust these products are safe. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. Dangerous products can cause serious injuries. A product liability claim is a type of personal injury case that can arise when a product is offered to the public that is defective and unreasonably dangerous, and which causes personal injury or death. The product should be reasonably safe, not only for its intended use, but for any use that is reasonably foreseeable. Even if the product may not be defective or unreasonably dangerous, an injured party may still seek recovery if the product failed to contain an adequate warning to the consumer.Types of Potentially Dangerous Products

There are many types of common products, whether in or outside of the home, that may be unreasonably dangerous. Examples of potential product liability claims include:

  • Home appliances
  • Toys and other childrens’ products
  • Work equipment
  • Automobiles
  • Over the counter medication
  • Prescription drugs
Damages in Illinois Product Liability Cases

Product liability claims may result in temporary injuries, permanent injuries, or wrongful death. Depending upon the injuries, an injured party may seek recovery for pain and suffering, disability, disfigurement, medical expenses, and lost wages. If a death results from a defective product, the heirs of the decedent may seek compensation for pain and suffering the decedent may have experienced before death. The heirs may also obtain monetary compensation for grief and sorrow, loss companionship, moral guidance, and financial support. In exceptional cases, punitive damages may be permitted to punish the defendant and to deter future similar misconduct.

★★★★★
Jason handled a very challenging auto accident case for me. My injuries were all based on preexisting conditions that were made worse by the accident. He did an amazing job proving up my case, which included destroying the defense expert at deposition. In the end, I received an excellent settlement on a tough case. Jason is a very smart, talented, and diligent lawyer who I would highly recommend to anyone. Phil S.
