Reputable Chicago Products Liability Attorneys Help You Seek Compensation

Advising anyone injured by a defective product

Under products liability law, companies and individuals who design, manufacture and sell products to the public owe a duty of care to their customers. That duty of care is a simple one: products will not harm those individuals who use the product in a reasonable manner. When a defective product injures a consumer, that victim may be entitled to legal compensation.

If you or someone you love has been injured or even killed by a defective product or another form of products liability, you should contact an experienced lawyer today. In the state of Illinois, a Chicago defective products attorney from The Law Offices of Newman, Boyer & Statham, Ltd. can help you.

Products commonly involved in liability cases

Any product can theoretically be found at the center of a products liability lawsuit, but in practical terms, it needs to be a product that can inflict harm or wrongful death on someone from malfunction or misrepresentation, such as in a car accident caused by a tire defect. Our defective products lawyers in Chicago frequently find themselves handling cases involving the following types of products:

Prescription or over-the-counter drugs and medications
Medical devices
Machinery and tools
Motor vehicles, including trucks and motorcycles
Seat belts, tires, airbags, car seats and other car accessories
Food
Toxic chemicals
Toxic substances

Tobacco
Weapons and firearms
Toys
Clothing
Household products or appliances

Negligent parties in products liability cases

To achieve success in a products liability case, someone involved in the design, manufacture or marketing of a product must have acted in a negligent way that directly led to your injury. Experienced product defect lawyers in Chicago can review your case and advise if there are one or more negligent parties in your case. Consider the following opportunities for negligence:

If errors in the design of a product led to your injury, then the individuals or companies who made that error may be held liable in your case.
If mistakes in the manufacturing process of a product led to your injury, then the individuals or companies involved in that manufacturing may be held liable in your case.
If the marketing of a product led you to use the product in an unsafe manner, then the individuals or companies who marketed the product in question may be held liable in your case.
