Can I have athird party lawsuit because of no danger sign on a die, it blew up and I am blessed to be alive. Where I work it is mandatory to have a danger sign on all dies that slugs build up. My right arm is permanently disabled. The machines I also found out are older than my grandfather...

You absolutely may have a claim against the third party, however, whether you ultimately may be able to pursue it will be governed by various statutes. It depends on when the machine was placed in the stream of commerce. You should contact me via e-mail upon receipt of this reply to discuss.

Re: work accident

Dear Sirs:

You may have a third party case but there is a statute in Illinois known as the Statute of Repose which prevents certain types of actions against manufacturers if the product is over a certain age.

Please call to discuss.

Many thanks,
