Chicago, Illinois, Product Liability Lawyer

Products Liability

“Product liability” refers to the responsibility on the part of manufacturers, designers, wholesalers or retailers to deliver products that are not defective, meaning they don’t cause injury to customers and users. These products can range from faulty industrial equipment and machinery to recalled baby items and toys. Product designers and manufacturers must ensure that all products are safe, properly labeled, well-designed, and the accompanying instructions and warnings descriptive and thorough.

At McGowan & Hull, we have significant experience in defective products cases, dealing largely with design defects in machinery and heavy equipment. Even a simple design flaw can cause an industrial accident that results in severe injury or death to factory or construction workers.

Product liability cases require an attorney with a strong knowledge of engineering, manufacturing, physics, and mechanics. We regularly consult experts to inform us of the intricacies of a particular machine or product’s design and operation. Once we better understand what exactly went wrong and how the accident could have been prevented, we can build a powerful case for those who have been hurt. We also represent the families of those who have died because of a defective or malfunctioning equipment.

With a combined 75 years of experience in personal injury law, our attorneys have handled many instances of product liability injuries in the greater Chicago area. We will treat your case with the utmost care and dedication.
