Frequently Asked Questions
What is the statute of limitations for product liability claims in Illinois?
In Illinois, you generally have two years from the date of injury to file a product liability lawsuit. This time limit is set by Illinois Code of Civil Procedure 735 ILCS 5/13-213. Missing this deadline can bar you from recovering compensation.
What types of product defects can I claim in Chicago Heights?
You can claim three main types of defects: design defects, manufacturing defects, and failure to warn. Illinois law requires the product to be unreasonably dangerous when used as intended. A lawyer can help identify which defect applies to your case.
Do I need to prove the manufacturer was negligent in Illinois?
No, you do not always need to prove negligence. Illinois follows strict liability for product defects, meaning you only need to show the product was defective and caused your injury. This makes it easier to hold companies responsible without proving they were careless.
