Types of claims

Faulty Product Compensation

Every year many thousands of people suffer a personal injury resulting from a defective or malfunctioning product they have purchased. Under the Consumer Protection Act 1987, if a product causes personal injury the manufacturer is usually responsible and fault product compensation may be due.

However, if the retailer cannot or will not confirm to you who the manufacturer or importer is, the retailer may be held responsible in law. Duncan Gibbins Solicitors have the knowledge and expertise to unravel the complexity of such a claim on your behalf.

During Proper Use

If a product is for sale then it must be safe for its intended use. If a product causes personal injury, and the injury is found not to have been caused by the misuse of the product by the injured party, there is a legal right to make a compensation claim against the manufacturer or retailer responsible. In order to make a successful claim for personal injuries arising as a result of a faulty product you don’t have to have purchased the product yourself. This will cover food as well as parts and goods. A product compensation claim can also be brought when an injury is caused by inaccurate or inadequate instructions or the product wasn’t suitable for what is was advertised as being for.

Common Injuries

The most common types of injuries that are caused by faulty or defective products include skin irritation or burns caused by chemicals in hair dyes, make up and skin and hair care products. They also include burns caused by defective hairdryers or curling tools. There has also been much publicity recently regarding injuries caused by pushchairs and skin problems caused by ‘toxic sofas’.
