Power, Rogers & Smith: Product Liability Cases

Cases on Product Liability

In the course of our daily lives, we use any number of products. We rightly assume that when used as directed, products are safe and reliable. Unfortunately, thousands of people are injured or die each year because of dangerous or defective products - from automobiles, to insulation, to medical devices, to pharmaceutical drugs and supplements. Thus lawsuits from product liability arise and many are brought to the experienced Chicago defective product lawyers at Power Rogers & Smith.
 
 Here are some disturbing facts about product malfunctions and subsequent injuries in the United States:
• The Consumer Product Safety Commission reports more than 22,000 deaths and 29 million injuries related to consumer products each year.
• Annually, consumer products cause over $500 billion in deaths, injuries, and property damage.
• The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission advises that there are 200-300 products recalled each year.
 
If you have been injured or lost someone because of a dangerous or defective product, you have the right to file a claim against the supplier or manufacturer of the product. Our Chicago defective product lawyers at Power Rogers & Smith are here to assist you with your case.
