Types of Product Liability Cases

Product liability cases can occur with nearly any type of product or good, regardless of the item’s value or purchase price. Some examples of purchases that have been involved in product liability claims include:

• Toys with missing or defective components
• Foods that have been tampered with, tainted, or kept in conditions that can lead to physical harm
• Vehicles that have faulty components
• Goods that come with insufficient instructions, leading to injury
• Protective products like sunglasses that do not sufficiently serve their intended purpose

Any number of parties may be found liable in a product liability case, including manufacturers, suppliers, assemblers, wholesalers, marketers, and retailers. It is also important to note that you do not necessarily need to have purchased the item in question to receive compensation. You simply must suffer an injury because of the product in question.

In determining who you want to sue, you will want to pinpoint the exact nature of the defect that caused you harm such as an overlooked design consideration, manufacturing error, and so on. Don't wait until it's too late. Get in touch with Mahoney & Mahoney for professional legal support.

What to Know About Product Liability

Illinois has specific laws and statutes that govern personal injury cases and, by extension, product liability cases within the state. If you wish to improve your chances of a favorable verdict, these legal standards are important to understand.

One legal concept the Prairie State uses, for example, is the standard of modified comparative negligence, which helps a judge or jury in apportioning liability. Comparative negligence can hurt your chances of receiving compensation if you hold liability. It will typically decrease your damages to a degree proportionate to your level of fault. Being found 25% responsible for your injuries after your brakes failed because you were speeding would decrease your awarded compensation by 25% as well.

It’s also important to remember that Illinois has a statute of limitations of two years for all personal injury cases, which means you will be given two years from the date of your injury to present a suit.
