Danger: Profit Motives at Work

Central Illinois Product Liability Attorneys — Nicoara & Steagall

Lobbyists in Washington, D.C., Springfield, Illinois, and in other state capitols across the country have made it very difficult for people who have been injured by a defective product to recover compensation for their losses.

Faced with the prospects of losing an entire product line, millions in investment, tens or hundreds of millions in profit and floodgates holding back hundreds or thousands of injury lawsuits — manufacturers have made it very expensive.

Contact us and put decades of complex litigation experience in the state and federal courts of Illinois to work for you.

At Nicoara & Steagall, we believe that safety should be more important than profit. We also believe that it is more important to practice law than it is to practice making law a business. Over the years, we have backed up those beliefs by choosing to remain a smaller, more focused law firm that keeps caseloads manageable and gives each client and their case the time and attention needed.

Our firm handles dangerous and defective product cases throughout Central Illinois. These involve a wide range of industrial, commercial and consumer goods, including:

  • Defectively designed vehicles
  • Faulty automobile components (tires, seat belts, etc.)
  • Children's toys, furniture and playground equipment
  • Defective household appliances and electronics
  • Dangerous workplace equipment

These are just a few examples. In reality, the list of potentially dangerous products is endless. But whether there was a flaw in the product design, in the manufacturing process, or in the way that the product and its dangers were labeled — there is one thing you can do right now that will have more of an impact on your case than anything else: Preserve the product. Many good cases are lost because this wasn't done properly. If you are not sure how, we'd be glad to help.
