Product Liability Claims

When you purchase a product, you expect it to be of reasonable quality, and you expect it to be fit for the purpose it was claimed to perform. When product defects are dangerous, and where they cause injury, then it’s possible to make a liability claim which, if successful, can result in a compensation payment. With a product liability claim like this, it makes sense to get expert legal help so you can maximise your claim.

In our consumer society most products work as they are designed to do, and if they don’t then a problem might easily be resolved by referring the problem back to the supplier for a refund or an exchange.

However, sometimes when a product fails it can cause injury or distress to the user, and the consequences can be devastating.

Who is liable if a product you bought injures you?

Manufacturers, distributors, suppliers, retailers and others who make products available to the public are liable if they cause injury because they are defective.

From our offices in Coventry and Warwickshire, we at Mander Hadley have regularly helped clients resolve problems caused by failing products by making product liability claims on their behalf.

We can also help you claim a compensation payment, and resolve such problems.
