Product Liability Attorneys
Representing the Victims of Dangerous and Defective Products
Product liability law holds anyone along a product’s supply chain – including designers, engineers, manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers, and retailers – liable for injuries and damages sustained as a result of a dangerous or defective product. Product liability lawsuits can be brought based on design defects, manufacturing defects, or marketing defects (e.g., product lacked adequate warning labels).
At Cogan & Power, P.C., our Chicago product liability attorneys focus on representing the victims of dangerous and defective products, including unsafe pharmaceuticals and medical devices, defective vehicles, defective machinery and equipment, and unsafe food products. We are dedicated accident and injury attorneys who are committed to preserving the rights of our clients, protecting their best interests, and obtaining a favorable verdict or settlement on their behalf. We recently obtained $11.4 million for the family of a man who died after a head-holder device broke during surgery; $3.7 million for the family of a woman who died after taking medication that had not contained suitable warnings; and a record high multi-million-dollar settlement on behalf of a man injured in a hunting accident as a result of an unsafe deer-hunting stand.
We offer a free, no-obligation consultation to anyone who has been injured as a result of dangerous or defective products.
Theories of Product Liability
Theories of product liability include:
- Negligence
- occurs when the defendant knew or should have known of the products defect and failed to take the appropriate steps to protect the public.
- Strict liability
- holds manufacturers liable for injuries and damages caused by dangerous and defective products, regardless of whether they knew or should have known that the product was unsafe.
- Breach of warranty
- applies when the manufacturer or distributor fails to comply with a written or implied warranty that the product will be safe and free from defects.

"I can not speak highly enough"
I can not speak highly enough for the experience I have received from Cogan & Power Attorneys at Law. I was introduced to John Power through a mural friend. I was impressed from the very first phone call with John Power to us meeting through the pandemic. His professionalism and his medical knowledge is unbelievable… I have to say from that day moving forward John Power, Sara Davis and Kim Stefanek all put me at ease. My cases lasted just about 3 years and I was notified every step of the way on what was going forward and keeping me in the loop. John and Sara made sure that I was ready and comfortable for my Deposition, they made sure every stone was unturned! Kim Stefanek is one of their paralegals and she is awesome. I can go and I highly recommend Cogan & Power for your legal issues. John Power & Sara Davis are amazing attorneys and exceptional, caring, compassionate people!!
