Injured by a Defectively Manufactured Product?
Most people live and work with a huge array of manufactured products. When defects in the design or manufacture of one of these products causes an injury or fatality results, you have options. You can seek compensation for medical expenses, lost income, disfigurement and other consequences of injuries from defective products.
How Our Attorneys Can Help
At the law firm of Frederick & Hagle in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois, our attorneys help people with injuries from defective products seek the compensation they need and deserve.

Our experienced lawyers evaluate your circumstances and use the approach most likely to obtain favorable results. We have handled numerous product liability cases like yours and will fight for you to get compensation for your injuries.
Advice to People Injured by Defective Products
We urge people who were injured because of a product defect to preserve the item, its packaging and the sales receipt. The more documentation you have, the stronger your case will be. We also suggest that you photograph or videotape yourself to illustrate the extent and nature of your injuries before obtaining medical help. Our attorneys remind people that if they talk with the manufacturer or return the product to them, they are seriously weakening the case.
