Central Illinois Product Liability Lawyers

Product liability refers to when injuries result from faulty or dangerous products. Typically, a product liability lawsuit is brought against a corporation or manufacturer that has sold or manufactured unsafe and defective products to consumers. The experienced lawyers at Bolen Robinson & Ellis understand how products can hurt consumers, and our product liability lawyers are committed to ensuring that those injured by faulty or dangerous products obtain the results they deserve.

About product liability claims.

Generally speaking, product liability claims fall within three categories:

• Manufacturing defects – These occur when products are manufactured from intended design, and the product subsequently causes a bodily injury or death.
• Design defects – These occur when products present a safety hazard in their design.
• Failure to warn – These often occur when manufacturers do not adequately warn or provide instructions warning consumers of known risks, dangers, or side effects.

Examples of unsafe and defective products include:

• Medical devices – Some medical devices are advertised and sold even though they cause significant side effects.
• Machinery and tools – An example might be a circular saw sold without an adequate safety guard.
• Medicine and drugs – Approved drugs sometimes cause side effects that are not known by users.
• Toxic chemicals and substances – These include pesticides, asbestos, and mold.
• Firearms and guns – Firearms can sometimes discharge without warning.
• Automobiles and other motor vehicles – Cars, trucks, motorcycles, and ATV’s can be designed with safety hazards.
• Automobile accessories – Tires, seat belts, airbags and child car seats may not work as intended.
• Household products and appliances – For example, some electrical blankets have allegedly malfunctioned and started fires.
• Unsafe toys – Some toys present hazards to children, especially babies.
