Legal Question in Product Liability in Illinois
work accident
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...

Depending on the circumstances and the facts of your case, the answer is "yes."
I need a lot more information in order to be able to give you a better answer. Call my assistant, Angela, in order to make an appointment so that we may talk and see what are your options.
I hope this helps,

Re: work accident
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,
