Experienced in Product Defect Cases

Many people who are involved in an accident are unaware that the accident was caused by a defective component of the product. What they do know is that a serious accident occurred, leaving them with significant injuries and related financial problems. They come to our lawyers for answers and for sound advice on how to move forward.

Our personal injury attorneys have extensive knowledge of Illinois product liability law and 100 years of combined experience with defective product cases.

We work with leading experts and investigators to thoroughly examine accident scenes, equipment, and other evidence to identify if a faulty component caused or contributed to the accident. If it did, the manufacturer, engineer, distributor, or other responsible entity may be held financially responsible for resulting injuries or losses. This is known as product liability.

How Did Your Injury Happen?

Our experienced attorneys can help you with defective and dangerous product cases involving:

Auto defects (defective seat belts, brakes, tires, or roofs)
Construction and industrial equipment failure (defective or dangerous cranes, backhoes, presses, punches)
Consumer product defects (defective lawn mowers, power tools, toys, baby strollers or other defective consumer products)
Defective machinery or power tools (defective couplers, unsafe elevators, steel mill equipment, and power tools)
Exposure to toxic substances (exposure to asbestos, mercury, benzene, or other substance)
Inadequate warnings or instructions

Real-World Job Experience

In addition to our comprehensive legal knowledge, we know how construction and industrial machinery and equipment work ... and fail. Our lawyers have spent time in factories and refineries and on building sites. Gregory Becker, one of our founding attorneys, was a steelworker, construction worker, and firefighter in Granite City before becoming a lawyer. This collective experience can be beneficial in knowing how to investigate a particular accident scene, and in understanding the nuances of these industries.

Depending on the circumstances of your defective product case, we may be able to help you seek compensation for property damages as well as injuries. We will thoroughly evaluate and investigate your case.

Don't Lose Out On a Chance To Pursue Compensation

If you have been injured because of a defective product, we urge you to seek prompt legal representation. There is a time limit in Illinois for filing a personal injury claim.
