What Is Product Liability?

Companies hold the responsibility of launching safe products into the market while ensuring consumers are properly warned of any potential risks. If this responsibility is neglected and their products cause harm to consumers, product liability laws offer victims a legal pathway for recourse.

Types of product liability:

  • Defective design: This type of product liability is when products have inherently dangerous designs, despite being made to specifications. For example, a toy designed with sharp edges. 
  • Manufacturing defects: Manufacturing defects occur during manufacturing, affecting a single item or batch and making the product more dangerous than intended. For example, a few pans out of a bath are missing screws.
  • Marketing defects: Marketing defects happen when there is a failure to include clear labels or instructions on products to alert consumers of non-obvious dangers, such as medication side effects.

Overall, product liability incidents can occur when negligence is involved in various stages of a product's lifecycle. From the company that initially designed the product to the entity responsible for manufacturing it and even to those in charge of its distribution, there are multiple parties that could be held accountable. Our experienced team at Turner Law Group can inspect the details of these cases. We aim to understand the extent of the negligence and identify what compensation you're rightfully entitled to.

FAQs

Common Answers To Your Questions
  • What qualifies as a personal injury?

    A personal injury generally refers to any bodily injury sustained in an accident, from minor bruises to severe brain trauma. The most common personal injury claims arise from harm sustained from traffic wrecks, slip and fall accidents, defective products, dangerous property conditions, and medical malpractice.

  • What is the personal injury statute of limitations in Illinois?

    Under state law, the statute of limitations (or deadline) for most personal injury claims in Illinois is two years from the date of the accident. However, for claims against governmental agencies, there are special limitation periods that may be as short as a year. You should always consult with an attorney on what particular limitations period might apply to your claim. You should seek legal help immediately, as a delay may be fatal to your claim. Unless you have a special exception, your claim will be thrown out if you attempt to file after the limitations period has passed.


    Because every personal injury claim is different, it is difficult to determine an average settlement. A victim who lost a limb will likely need to receive more in medical expenses than someone who broke an arm, for instance. Although personal injury claims tend to average anywhere between $3000 to $75,000—an extremely broad range—there may be significant economic and noneconomic factors in your individual case that may indicate that your particular claim would be valued at a significantly higher figure at trial in front of a jury. An attorney can help you estimate your unique losses based on the facts of your case. The knowledge of an attorney experienced in jury verdict value is extremely important. You should be entitled to make up for your specific losses at the very least.
     

  • What evidence is needed for a personal injury claim?

    Necessary evidence can vary case by case depending on the specifics of your situation. However, one of the most helpful pieces of evidence is your medical records. If you can prove that you sought medical attention for a serious injury after an accident, you are more likely to receive compensation to cover the expenses associated with said injury. Other helpful evidence includes any photographs of the accident scene, accident reports, witness statements, insurance forms, receipts, and any other physical evidence related to the injury.
