Product Liability

Product liability claims arise as a result of a defective or unreasonably dangerous product causing significant injury or, in the most serious cases, death. At the Law Offices of John G. Kelly, P.C., you will find personal injury lawyers dedicated to advocating for your right to receive compensation for your injuries. Our attorneys serve clients in all of Chicago, Cook County, and throughout the state of Illinois.

Sometimes the accident-causing event is the result of a manufacturer's failure to provide adequate warnings or instructions for the use of their product; automotive defects that cause an unintended acceleration or unintended park-to-reverse movement of vehicle; SUV vehicle rollovers; or the malfunction of air bags, seat backs, seat belts, transmission, or other vehicle components. Injuries can also be sustained in the use of defective recreational sporting goods such as bikes, boats and the tipping of watercraft; the use of heavy defective machinery such as punch presses or grinding machines at industrial sites or factories; or even from defective everyday household appliances and goods such as when children suffer injuries due to mini-blind pull cords, children's toys, cribs, and more. It also occurs when faulty medical devices and surgical hardware cause injury.

Experience and Knowledge That Counts

Products liability litigation is a complicated area of the law that requires trial attorneys who not only have a keen knowledge of the law, but also possess an understanding of the practical and engineering details of the products involved. From suing the largest distributor of mini blinds, to the manufacturers of industrial equipment, to one of the big three automobile manufacturers, we are the benchmark for knowledgeable, aggressive and success driven lawyers in the city. We proactively hire experts and engineers who assist us early on in the stages of litigation by educating us on all the engineering and design issues involved. We thereafter utilize these experts, along with our knowledge and expertise in handling such matters, to optimize your representation in this complex arena.
