Faulty Product Compensation Claims

Have you been injured by a faulty or defective product? If faulty goods have caused you or a loved one to suffer an injury, you might be entitled to compensation. Find out today by getting in touch with our expert panel of faulty product claim solicitors.

Every injury is unfortunate and often avoidable. However, faulty product injuries can be some of the most serious and life-changing. They are also the injuries that are most unpredictable, as we have come to expect a level of service and safety from manufacturers.

Manufacturers have a duty to test and inspect the products they sell, and ensure they are both safe and fit for purpose. If a company has been negligent in their testing, design or manufacture, injuries can occur.

If you believe you have been injured as a result of a faulty or defective product, our panel of expert personal injury solicitors can guide you through your claim for compensation. Get in touch today, for free, to find out if you have a claim.

What is a Faulty Product Accident Claim?

When you buy a product and use it in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, you expect it to work the way it is intended. The last thing you expect is to be injured by the product.

The law asserts that any product or equipment you buy should be safe for you to use, if operated appropriately. The Consumer Protection Act 1987 states that people can claim compensation if the product is defective and has caused a personal injury.

If you have been injured by a faulty product, we recommend keeping the product, or taking photos if that is not possible, as well as keeping the receipt of the product. All of this, including medical reports, can be used as evidence when building your compensation claim.

What Kind of Claims Arise From Faulty Product Compensation Cases?

Due to their nature, our panel of experts see a wide array of faulty product compensation claims. Some of the more common cases they see are:

• Back injuries due to falling off a faulty ladder
• Malfunctioning electrical appliances causing electric shocks, burns, or scalds
• Contaminated or untested cosmetics, causing skin damage
• Poisoning caused by contaminated food bought in a shop
• Hair loss and scarring caused by defected or untested hair products used in salons, or by faulty home hair styling products
• Faulty vehicle parts which cause a road traffic accident
• Defective or wrongly labelled children’s toys, causing an injury or accident
• Unsafe medical equipment, such as faulty replacement hips or medication
• All other types of faulty equipment, such as leisure equipment, gardening tools, DIY tools, kitchen gadgets and other household appliances

Who is my Defective Product Claim Against?

This is a good question, and proving liability can be a tricky process. Many defective products go through multiple stages before you purchase them. Some questions our panel will ask will be:

• Was it the design of the product that caused the accident?
• Were the materials of the product faulty?
• Was it the manufacturing process that caused the fault?
• Could the wholesaler have caused the defect?

We will go through your case, step by step, and come to an agreement with you as to who was at fault.

How Much Compensation Can I Receive for My Faulty Product Claims?

There is no quick and easy way of working out how much compensation you might receive for a faulty product compensation claim, as each case is different. Having said that, our expert panel do know the factors you can claim for, and can therefore give you a good estimate.

Along with compensation for the pain and suffering of your injury (general damages), you can also claim for special damages. These damages include:
