Products & Devices Group Claims
When a product or medical device fails to meet certain safety standards, it can often affect a lot of people. If you or a loved one has been injured by a defective product, making a group compensation claim along with others who have been similarly affected can help maximise your chances of success.
Making a group compensation claim for defective products and devices
The manufacturer of any product or drug has a responsibility to make sure it is safe for consumers. If relevant safety standards are not met, a product will be defective under the Consumer Protection Act 1987. Making a group claim along with others can help build a stronger case and ensure you get the right level of compensation.
Our experts could help you make a group claim for:
- Defective drugs and medicines
- Defective medical products
- Defective electrical products
- Defective food and lifestyle supplements
- Defective sporting goods
- Defective vehicles
Our expert team has extensive experience bringing group claims for a range of defective products, medical trials, and medical devices including:
- Representing victims of Creutzfeldt Jakob Disease (CJD) related to treatments of Human Growth Hormone from 1992.
- Securing compensation for men testing a new drug, TGN1412, being developed to treat chronic inflammatory conditions and leukaemia.
- Representing people fitted with a range of defective medical devices, including PIP breast implants, and metal-on-metal hip implants such as DePuy ASR, and DePuy Pinnacle, Zimmer Durom and others.
We also have experience in contractual claims coming from the supply of medical devices and other goods. Depending on the circumstances of your case, this may be an alternative to making a claim under the Consumer Protection Act. Whatever your situation, we’ll be able to advise on the best course of action.
