Chicago Product Liability Lawyers

Product liability refers to a set of laws designed to protect American consumers from unsafe products. Manufacturers and vendors of goods have a responsibility to consumers, and, when a consumer suffers a Chicago personal injury or death as the result of a faulty product, the manufacturer and/ or vendor may be held liable.

If you or someone you love has been injured or killed as the result of a defective product, please contact the experienced personal injury lawyers at Patrick J. Kenneally, Ltd. today. We will thoroughly investigate the details of the injury or death and fight to ensure all responsible parties are held accountable.

Types of Defective Products in Chicago

Although product liability laws govern all types of American products, millions of individuals are still harmed by faulty products each year, including:

• Defective auto parts including breaks or tires
• Defective drugs, both over-the-counter and prescription
• Faulty medical devices
• Food products containing harmful bacteria such as salmonella
• Defective toys, for instance Chinese-made toys that contain toxic lead paint
• Products containing toxic materials such as asbestos
• Faulty machinery used at construction or other work sites

Products that are not labeled correctly can also be considered defective.

How a Chicago Product Liability Lawyer Can Help

Because defective products can cause serious injuries and early death, companies that manufacture and sell faulty products may be responsible to recover any damages incurred. An experienced product liability lawyer will be able to thoroughly investigate the injury, using cutting edge technology and a team of experts to determine exactly what happened and why.

After determining liability for the injury or death, an experienced attorney will fight to ensure all responsible parties are held accountable. Victims of defective products should be able to recover compensation for losses including:

• Medical bills
• Treatment costs, including medication
• Physical disfigurement, permanent disability
• Lost wages, lost ability to pursue normal course of employment
• Emotional pain and suffering
• Funeral and burial costs in cases of death

Our Chicago, Illinois law firm has successfully represented product libility victims injured by defective punch presses, farm machinery, lawn mowers and other consumer and industrial products. 

Presently, we represent a woman who was seriously injured in Florida when one of the Firestone tires on her Ford Explorer SUV experienced the kind of dangerous tread separation that has been widely reported in the news media. 

In these types of cases we regularly seek out the best scientists and engineers to assist us in our investigation and trial preparation.  We have won many verdicts and settlements against manufacturers that have helped victims of dangerous products.
