Hernandez v. Oliveros

Plaintiffs filed products liability action against manufacturer of motorcycle helmet, after they sustained serious head injuries while wearing helmets in collision with car. Defendant has the requisite minimum contacts with Illinois, and Plaintiffs showed that cause of action arose out of its contacts with Illinois, where they purchased and used the helmets. As Plaintiffs' purchase of helmets was not a single, isolated sale of Defendant's product in Illinois, it is logical and fair to resolve matter in Illinois courts. It is reasonable for Illinois to exercise personal jurisdiction over Defendant. (DELORT and HOFFMAN, concurring.)
