If an injury is caused by a defective product then a product liability claim can be made. All items sold in the UK have to meet certain regulatory standards to ensure they are of good quality and are safe to use for their intended purpose.
Any products that are sold with or develop defects can cause injury, and if this happens they could form the basis of product liability claims. Items that pose a safety hazard should not be available to consumers in the UK, so a product liability claim can be made against the manufacturer and/or retailer if it causes harm, injury or illness.
Claims can take a long time to process, so a solicitor will ensure everything goes smoothly and your complaint is dealt with properly.
Product Liability Compensation
Product liability compensation awards are dependent on the nature of the defect and the harm caused. Physical, emotional or financial problems cause by a sub-standard item can all form the basis of a compensation action.
Product liability compensation is also not limited in terms of the things it covers, everything from children’s toys, power tools and cosmetics to medicines, furniture and food are covered under the 1987 Consumer Protection Act.
Whatever the situation, expert solicitors can ensure you get the product liability compensation owed and hold the manufacturer or retailer of sub-standard items to account.
