Persistence in Product Liability Cases
Consumers trust that organizations prioritize safety in design, production and distribution — yet defective products still enter the market. After you’ve experienced life-changing injuries from a defective product, Roman & Boock’s product liability lawyers step up to help you fight back.

Product Liability Cases Explained
To have a viable product liability case, you must prove that a product was defective, it was the cause of your injury and it was used as intended or reasonably anticipated. Our product liability attorneys are based in St. Louis – as such, we handle cases in both Missouri and Illinois. Each state has their own legal requirements for product liability cases.
Missouri
In Missouri, product liability cases have a five-year statute of limitations, starting on the date of the injury.
Illinois
Illinois has a two-year statute of limitations, starting on the date of injury. However, a statute of repose is also in place — product liability claims cannot be filed if injuries occur 10 years from the date of sale or 12 years from the manufacturing date.
At-Fault Parties
Liability varies depending on the nature of the defect and each party’s role in the chain of distribution.
Our product liability lawyers may pursue legal action against one or more of the following parties:
- Manufacturers
- Distributors
- Retailers
- Suppliers
- Consultants
- Designers
