Product Liability

If you have been injured as a result of a defective product, Irwin Mitchell could help you to secure compensation for product liability.

Understandably, we expect the products that we buy today to be of a safe standard for the use that they are intended. Because of this, any product to have reached the shelves in the UK has will have passed stringent regulatory standards which are there to ensure that they are of sufficient quality and safe to use.

Unfortunately, thousands of products are either sold with, or subsequently develop defects and whilst the majority of these issues are resolved without incident, there are cases whereby a defective product can pose a significant safety hazard which leads to serious injury.

In cases like this, Irwin Mitchell has a dedicated team of product liability solicitors who have a strong track record of securing significant product liability compensation settlements.

Experts in Product Liability Claims

Product liability claims can be lengthy and complicated processes, with the claimant having to prove that a defect on the product directly caused any injuries or illness that they may have sustained.

For that reason, Irwin Mitchell has a dedicated team of product liability solicitors who have expert knowledge and a wealth of experience in modern product liability legislation such as the 1987 Consumer Protection Act.

Whether you have suffered any physical, emotional or even financial implications as a result of a defective product, Irwin Mitchell can offer you the best possible legal representation.

Below is just a sample of the successful product liability compensation claims made by Irwin Mitchell:

• Power Tools

  Irwin Mitchell secured a four-figure, out of court settlement from a DIY retailer for a client who suffered a sliced bicep due to a defective angle grinder. Although any power tools in the UK have to pass stringent safety tests, we were able to prove that our client’s injuries were caused as a direct result of a defect in the product.

• Furniture

  Irwin Mitchell was able to claim an out of court settlement against a furniture retailer after our client sustained serious physical injuries due to the collapse of a defective stool.

• Medical Products

  Irwin Mitchell were able to secure a five-figure settlement for a client who suffered numerous painful physical injuries and was taken to hospital as a result of a defective catheter. The manufacturer later accepted liability and agreed on an out of court product liability settlement.

  In another medical product case, Irwin Mitchell has represented clients who have suffered a fungal eye infection after coming into contact with a particular brand of contact lens solution.
