Faulty Product Accident Claims

As a nation with a consumerist mentality it is understandable that by nature we are always keen to try out the latest and greatest product in any number of consumer fields. But our curiosity and/or search for a quick fix can often lead to accident and injury.

But the manufacturer has a duty to protect its customers and ensure that all its products are 100% safe before releasing them to market. If you have been hurt or injured because a manufacturer has failed in this obligation, then they are responsible and could be liable to pay you compensation for the suffering you have endured.

That's where we come in. At Legal Request we are experts in the field of faulty product claims and if you have been injured by a faulty product then get in contact with us as soon as possible so we can help you claim back what is rightfully yours. Read on to find out more about faulty product claims...

What are some of the cases you have dealt with in this area?

Here at Legal Request we have experience and expertise working with a number of examples of faulty product compensation claims. Listed below are some examples of what people may file a faulty product compensation claim for.

• Car accidents due to faulty workmanship, for example, in a registered garage
• A child getting hurt by a faulty toy
• Injuries and irritations caused by beauty products such as hair and scalp creams used in hairdresser salons
• Injuries caused by unsafe medical products
• Discomfort caused by breast and corneal implants
• Contraceptive devices
• Cuts and bruises caused by defective appliances or DIY equipment

The above mentioned injuries are just some of the examples we have come across, but the list could be as endless as the millions of products on the market at the moment. Just remember, no matter what the product, or how trivial the injury may seem at first, if you believe it to have been caused by a faulty product, you may have the right to claim compensation for your injury.

I think I have a claim, what is the next step?

Under the Consumer Protection Act 1987, the manufacturer is responsible should the their product cause injury. If you think this applies to you, here's what to do next...

• Contact the retailer you bought the product from and inform him/her of its danger
• Ask the retailer to provide you with details of the manufacturer (if the retailer cannot/will not provide this information, the retailer will be held responsible
• You have to prove that the product was defective and it was responsible for your injury, so you must document and photograph the product in question
• If possible you should seek independent clarification from an expert that the product was defective. We can help you with that.

Your next and final step will be to contact us at Legal Request, where one of our experts will quickly be able to assess your case and let you know whether you have a case.

Then all you have to do after that is sit back and let us do the hard work and get you the compensation that is rightfully yours, while at the same time helping to ensure that nobody else is hurt by the same product. Everyone's a winner!
