Personal injury
Product liability
If you have been injured due to a faulty or defective consumer product, you may be able to pursue a product liability compensation claim. It is possible to bring a claim for product liability against any individual party in the consumer goods supply chain, whether it’s the manufacturing company, the distributor or the goods, the supplier or the retailer, depending on where the blame lies.
At Howells, our experienced and friendly team can guide you through the product liability claims process, helping you to secure the compensation you deserve.
Types of defective product claim
Every product liability case has its own unique characteristics and complexities. However, broadly, we can categorise them into three types:
Inadequate Warning: If there are insufficient warnings on the actual product or the product’s packaging to warn of a danger associated with the product, then the manufacturer may be subject to a product liability compensation claim.
Unsympathetic Design: A product should be designed with its target market in mind. A child’s toy should not have any sharp edges or small removable parts. Electrical goods should be fit for purpose and work safely.
Faulty Manufacturing: Anomalies can occur in the manufacturing process. Products can be tainted or faulty if quality control measures within the organisation were not fully adhered to. If an injury occurs as a result, the possibility of a product liability claim will arise.
If you have been injured in a similar scenario, then you should contact Howells Solicitors today about a potential defective product claim.
