Injuries From Defective Products
The maker of a product is legally responsible if people are injured because of bad design, a manufacturing flaw or a failure to warn of its dangers. Nevertheless, holding manufacturers accountable is easier said than done.
Mallon & Hale, Ltd., of Wood River, Illinois, has made manufacturers and distributors pay for serious injuries. We bring more than 35 years of combined experience in personal injury litigation to your pursuit of rightful compensation for product liability. Contact us today to find out if you have a viable claim.
Products Liability Lawyers for Illinois and Missouri
We have secured settlements and verdicts for clients throughout the St. Louis area, Southern Illinois and Eastern Missouri. Any dangerous or defective product that causes lasting harm or a wrongful death may be grounds for a product liability lawsuit, including:
- SUV rollovers (traction instability or non-crashworthy design)
- Workplace machinery and power tools
- Ladders and other products that collapse
- Products that explode or burn
- Household chemicals and products
- Children's toys (choking hazards, lead, magnets)
- Dangerous prescription medications
Our job is to demonstrate a design defect, manufacturing defect, or failure to warn of a known or foreseeable danger. Mallon & Hale invests the considerable resources to hire engineers and product safety experts who can inspect the product and testify to how it was defective or dangerous for intended or reasonable use.
Third-Party Lawsuits in Work-Related Injury
Many products liability claims arise from matters related to workers' compensation claims. You may be entitled to sue the manufacturer of a product for damages such as pain and suffering and lost earning potential, in addition to benefits or settlements through your employer-paid insurance. We always explore third-party claims in work injury cases.
Preserve the defective product if possible so that we can have it examined by professionals. You can call Mallon & Hale at 888-854-2495 or contact us online. We offer a free consultation and take no attorney fees unless we recover compensation. Our law office is handicapped accessible with a ramp for our clients to use.
