Chicago Equipment Defect Lawyers
Representing the Victims of Electrical Equipment Defects
Defective equipment, including defective electrical equipment, is often the cause of industrial accidents and injuries.

We offer a free, no-obligation consultation to anyone who has been injured as a result of an electrical equipment defect or other defective product.
Workplace Electrical Accidents
Accidents and injuries involving defective electrical equipment can occur anywhere and anytime that an electric device is used, but they often occur on construction worksites and in manufacturing plants. Workers who are injured by defective electrical equipment while on the job are generally entitled to workers’ compensation benefits. Additionally, the injured worker may also be able to pursue a product liability action against the product manufacturer.
Product Liability Laws
Whether an accident caused by defective electrical equipment occurs in the workplace, at home, or in another location, the plaintiff may be able to recover money damages against the product designer, manufacturer, or supplier in a product liability lawsuit. In order to sustain a product liability claim, the plaintiff must show that:
- there was a design or manufacturing defect in the product;
- the manufacturer failed to warn consumers of the possible risks associated with the product;
- the defective product caused the plaintiff’s injuries; and
- the plaintiff was using the product in the way it was intended to be used.
Product liability laws generally hold anyone along a product’s supply chain – including automobile designers, engineers, manufacturers, distributors, and dealers – 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 (such as inadequate warning labels).

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!!
