Illinois Bicycle Recall Law Attorneys
Keating Law Offices has significant experience and success with product liability cases and injuries resulting from bike usage. In Illinois the manufacturer of a product can be held liable when their product fails and the person was using the product in a reasonably foreseeable manner. This means that if a bicycle crash occurs because a part of the bike broke or failed during normal use, the manufacturer of that product would be responsible for any injuries or other damages suffered by the rider. Relevant to the recalled Focus bicycles, it would be reasonably foreseeable for a rider to expect the carbon-fiber fork steer tube not to crack, making any resulting injury the potential basis for a claim against the manufacturer.
The Illinois Bicycle Attorneys at Keating Law Offices strongly encourage Illinois bicyclists to stay informed regarding recalls that may affect their bicycles or equipment. While manufacturers rarely intend to sell defective products, recalls are a reminder that product defects posing serious risks to cyclists can be discovered once a product is already on the market. It is important to monitor the safety of your bicycle and cycling equipment both before and after a purchase.
