Defective Products
Home > Personal Injury >
We can act for you as a defective product lawyer if you have been injured by a faulty product. Defective product claims are covered by the Consumer Protection Act which covers all forms of goods.
Under this faulty product law, a defective product might just be one part of a larger device, machine or engine. From products used in the workplace through to pharmaceutical and medical products such as artificial hip replacement components and pacemakers, as a consumer you have a right to expect your purchase to be fit for purpose.
If you have suffered injury from the poor performance of a product because it is broken or not working properly, we may be able to help you claim compensation from the company who made or processed it.
Tell us about the product and how you were using it. If the manufacturer appears to be liable, we will gather and present the evidence to fight your case against the company to prove that the defect caused harm to you.
