A product liability claim allows you to seek compensation for injuries caused by defective or dangerous consumer products. These injuries can arise from various products which are not fit for purpose, including faulty machinery, unsafe pharmaceuticals, defective equipment/vehicles, or hazardous household items. You could pursue a claim if a product’s defect caused your injury. Compensation can help with medical expenses, lost wages, pain, and other costs, allowing you to heal and move forward.
A product liability claim can provide the financial support you need during your recovery if you have been injured by a harmful product. The amount of compensation you receive will depend on the severity of your injuries and the financial losses incurred.
Product liability claims can arise from various situations, including:
Injuries from faulty machinery or equipment can occur in workplaces, homes, or public spaces. For instance, a person could be injured by an unsafe machine or by a household appliance that catches fire due to electrical issues.
Pharmaceuticals with unknown or undisclosed side effects can cause serious health problems due to lack of proper testing. This can occur if a medication has harmful side effects that were not adequately explained. It can also happen if a drug is manufactured incorrectly.
Defective vehicles or automotive parts can lead to accidents and injuries. Examples include brakes that fail, airbags that do not deploy, or tyres that blow out unexpectedly.
Household products, including children’s toys, electronics, and cleaning products, can pose risks if they are defective. For instance, toys with small parts that pose choking hazards or electronic devices that overheat and cause burns.
If you have been injured by a defective product, bringing a product liability claim can provide essential support and compensation. Here is how the process can help:
Compensation from a product liability claim can cover vital medical costs, specialist treatment, and any ongoing care required for your recovery.
If your injury prevents you from working, a product liability claim can assist in compensating for lost wages and potentially lost future earnings.
A product liability claim can provide compensation for both physical pain and emotional distress caused by the defective product.
A successful claim can secure funding for essential rehabilitation services such as physiotherapy, counselling, and other therapeutic interventions.
If a defective product has caused injury and damaged personal property, a product liability claim can help cover the costs of repair or replacement.
There are several steps required for a product liability claim to make sure you get the compensation you deserve. Here’s how the process typically works:
Your health is the top priority. Ensure you receive appropriate medical treatment and keep detailed records of your injuries and treatment.
Collect evidence to support your claim related to the defective product and your injuries. This includes photos of the product, purchase receipts, medical reports, and any other relevant documentation.
Contact a solicitor who specialises in product liability claims. At CEL Solicitors, our team has extensive experience handling these cases. We will provide expert advice and guide you through the legal process, making your claim as straightforward as possible.
During your first call, your solicitor will assess your case and explain your legal rights. They will also outline the potential outcomes, including the compensation you may be entitled to.
Your solicitor will help you prepare and file the necessary legal documents to start your claim. This includes detailing the incident, injuries sustained, and the product defect.
Many claims are settled out of court. Your solicitor will negotiate with the manufacturer or their insurance company to secure a fair settlement.
If a settlement cannot be reached, we may take your case to court. We will instruct a barrister to represent you, presenting the evidence and arguing your case to obtain the compensation you deserve.
It is essential to seek legal advice early to minimise financial risk and ensure the best chance of a successful outcome. Our no-win, no-fee agreement means you will not face financial risk if your claim is unsuccessful. With nothing to pay upfront, you have nothing to lose by bringing a claim.
