Products Liability

Chicago, Illinois, Products Liability Lawyer

"Products liability" refers to the liability of the manufacturers, designers, wholesalers or retailers of a defective product for injuries caused by the product. These products can range from industrial equipment and machinery to lawnmowers, food, or pharmaceuticals. Manufacturers and designers of products have a responsibility to ensure that the product, when used as intended, does not cause injury. If injury is possible, the manufacturer has a duty to place a warning on the product cautioning the user.

At McGowan & Hull, we have significant experience in defective products cases, dealing largely with defectively designed or manufactured machinery and heavy equipment. These types of defective products are often the cause of industrial accidents that cause injury or death to factory or construction workers.

Products liability cases are often complex, and require knowledge of engineering, manufacturing, and mechanics. We have individuals available who consult with us on the intricacies of the machine's design and operation, so that we can better understand what exactly went wrong and how the accident could have been prevented. Our attorneys have handled many cases in Chicago of industrial accidents caused by malfunctioning equipment, and we will treat your case with the same care and dedication.
