Who Can I Pursue for Defective Product Injuries in Illinois?
At Mancini Law Group P.C., our dangerous products attorneys in Chicago know that anytime the details of a product’s design, manufacturing, assembly, or labeling are compromised by negligence, people are going to get hurt when they purchase and use those products.
Consumers have a right to expect that the products they buy will be safe when used as designed.
Unfortunately, dangerous and defective products are finding their way into Illinois homes and businesses in increasing numbers. When our clients are injured while using these products properly, they deserve to pursue justice and financial compensation from the negligent party responsible.
Our Cook County product liability attorneys will help you determine who is liable for defective product injuries, so we can pursue maximum justice and maximum results on your behalf.
Who Can Be Held Liable for Defective Product Injuries in Illinois?
At Mancini Law Group P.C., our Chicago personal injury lawyers believe that accountability matters. We will not stop investigating your case until the negligent party responsible for introducing a dangerous product to the public is identified and held fully accountable.
In Illinois, one or more parties may be held responsible for product liability claims, including:
The Product Designer
Design defects occur when a product is unreasonably dangerous due to a flawed design, even when manufactured correctly.
In a defective product injury claim, our Chicago product liability attorneys do not have to prove that the manufacturer knew about the defect — only that they should have known the danger existed.
The Manufacturer
Manufacturers are required to produce defect-free, safe products.
If a manufacturer knew — or should have known — that the construction or assembly of a product could harm consumers, they may be held legally liable for the injuries that occur as a result.
Failure to Provide Proper Instructions or Warnings
When companies fail to provide adequate warning labels, instructions, or safety information, consumers may not have the tools they need to safely use the product.
This failure to warn can cause serious and preventable injuries and is a common basis for Illinois product liability lawsuits.
Everything from car parts and children’s toys to furniture, electronics, and household products can be dangerous when they are designed, manufactured, or labeled improperly.

How Can We Prove a Defective or Dangerous Product Caused My Injuries?
Under Illinois product liability law, our experienced Chicago personal injury attorneys must meet specific legal requirements before filing a claim.
We must show that:
-
The manufacturer or seller owed a duty of care to the consumer
-
The liable party breached that duty
-
The breach caused a foreseeable injury or property damage
