What Is A Defective Product?
Product liability concerns the area of law which handles manufacturers, distributors, suppliers and retailers, making them accountable when products cause injury or illness. No matter what sort of contractual limitations are placed on a product with regards to liability, if a product has been found to be faulty, its manufacturer will be liable for damage under the Consumer Protection Act (CPA) or the common law of negligence.
A defective product is any good in which a component part, or incorporated raw material, is defective. Depending on what element of the good is faulty, either the manufacturer, or the component manufacturer, or both, will be potentially liable. A product is defective because it has put user safety at risk, has caused upper, or lower bodily harm, or has damaged a user’s property. A product is not defective simply because a manufacturer has launched a safer version of the product on the market.
Claiming Compensation For A Faulty Product
Our product liability specialists fight to win you the maximum amount of compensation for the pain and suffering that you have experienced. Each expert solicitor has a vast knowledge of the law surrounding product liability claims, which is very important when it comes to negotiating the intricacies of this type of case. If you are looking to make a product liability claim, we ask you to keep hold of any information that you can that proves the good’s faultiness. This could include:
- Photographs of the product, showing where it is faulty
- Photographs of the damage the product has caused
- Evidence of medical treatment received following injury by faulty product
Anything that lends credibility to your claim can alter the final compensation package that you walk away with.
