Attorney: Cory P. Whalen
Practice Area: Product Liability
Client Injury: Arm and Wrist Injury

Our client was severely injured while performing routine maintenance on a hydraulic machine at work. The client sustained substantial physical injuries to his arm and wrist and endured significant pain. A product liability claim was commenced against the manufacturers that designed the defective product in Japan and their stateside distributor in Chicago. The product manufacturer denied liability and disputed jurisdiction in U.S. Courts. However, a mediated settlement in the amount of $400,000 was reached.
