Product Liability


Manufacturers and designers often cut costs to increase their profits, often at the expense of the consumer. A manufacturer that designs defective products resulting in death or injury must be held responsible for the injuries they cause.

When you hear that someone’s brakes “went out,” or a batch of peanut butter is unsafe to eat, or a drug designed to treat diabetes also causes heart attacks, you are hearing about product liability. Automobiles, medical devices, machinery, drugs, tools and children’s products are examples of common products with defective designs. Even worse, often these defective products continue to be sold after injuries have occurred.

There are three ways a product can fail:

  • Design defect: a product is so poorly designed that it is dangerous
  • Manufacturing defect: a toy has a jagged edge, or a frozen hamburger patty contains E. coli
  • Marketing defect: the label on a container of solvent neglects to mention that fumes can ignite 50 yards from the open bottle.

James P. LeFante of LeFante Law Offices, P.C. in Peoria, Illinois knows what it takes to prove the defective nature of a product. His background as an insurance defense attorney gives him rare insight into the way insurance companies think and strategize, helping to bring justice and compensation to those injured by unreasonably dangerous or poorly designed products.

LeFante Comes Through EVERY Time!

LeFante law firm was fantastic when it came to showing me that they did care about my situation. Mike and Jim fought very hard for me and my family. They were not pushed around in the court room and I felt that they worked as hard as if it was their own case. I will… Read more “LeFante Comes Through EVERY Time!”

Mr. LeFante took my personal injury case and although my claim was not a big one, it was important to me. As my attorney, he fought hard for me because though my claim was relatively small, it was still important. I was treated very well not only by Mr. LeFante but by his entire team… Read more “Heather Lane”

Thomas Norman was incredible to deal with. Very nice attitude, and showed genuine concern about my issue. He was able to reduce a very serious speeding traffic ticket to a simple speeding ticket. I would strongly recommend him to anyone who is facing a serious (or less serious) traffic charge.

Mark Jackson

This is a fantastic legal team. They truly cared about my case, and about me. They are exceptionally great attorneys, and they worked very hard to help me. (One evening after a long trial prep meeting I left their office at 11 p.m., while two attorneys and a paralegal were still hard at work.) LeFante… Read more “Mark Jackson”
