  • Overview

    Contact one of our specialist lawyers for a free initial consultation to find out if we can investigate your case with the financial security of a no win no fee agreement.

    When can you make a compensation claim for an injury cause by a defective product?

    As consumers we expect the things we buy to be safe, but sometimes that is not the case. If you can establish that a product was defective and caused you an injury then you should be entitled to compensation. Sometimes the fact that an injury has been sustained is enough to establish that a product was defective.

    What compensation can you claim?

    • Compensation can be due for physical or psychological damage or both
    • You can claim compensation for the pain and suffering caused by your injuries and the things you need as a result of your defective product injury
    • You can also claim compensation for financial loss. For example, for loss of earnings
    • You can do this on a no win no fee basis so there is no risk attached.
       

    The amount of compensation you get depends on:

    • The seriousness of your injuries
    • The extent of financial loss
    • The support you will need in the future.
       

    What steps can you take to help a defective product compensation claim succeed?

    Retaining evidence will increase the chance of succeeding with your claim for compensation:

    • If possible, keep the defective product safe and untouched after the accident. It may need to be examined by experts as part of the claim
    • Take photographs of the defective product and the injuries sustained.
       

    How our personal injury lawyers can help with compensation claims for defective products

    • The breadth of experience in our personal injury team means it is likely that we have already recovered compensation with similar circumstances to yours
    • We have brought successful compensation claims on a wide variety of defective products including:
      • Medical appliances such as breast implants and hip implants
      • Electrical goods such as washing machines and dishwashers
      • Items of food and drink
      • Solvents and pesticides
    • We will use our extensive experience in the area of defective products to ensure you claim the compensation you deserve.
       

    Free initial consultation

    Contact our team of specialist personal injury lawyers for a free, no obligation, consultation and we will listen to the circumstances of your accident before giving you clear advice on the chance of you recovering compensation. If we think you have a claim we can investigate your case using the financial security of a no win no fee agreement.
