Can I Make a Product Liability Claim?
There are four types of product liability claims. These are:
Manufacturing – the product suffered damage during the manufacturing process.
Design – the product has a design flaw which has led to injury or damage.
Warnings – the manufacturer failed to display sufficient warnings on the product packaging.
Failure to issue a recall – product liability claims can be brought under this category, if a manufacturer has failed to recall a faulty product even though they knew about the defects. If this fault subsequently injures a party, the manufacturer can be held liable.
You can’t claim for the cost of a replacement product. You can, however, claim compensation for personal injury, death, or damages to private property caused by a defective product.
What Can I Claim For?
If a faulty product has harmed you or caused damage to your property or possessions, you may be able to claim compensation from the manufacturer. This claim is under the legislation surrounding product liability.
Product liability insurance claims are made according to a combination of statutory law, contract law and tort law. No matter how you make a claim, there are three points that your product liability lawyer will need to prove to be successful. These are:
1. That the product is, in fact, defective.
2. The defective product caused some harm or loss to the claimant.
3. The defendant used the defective product in a reasonable and responsible manner, and as it was intended.
How long you have to make a claim
You have three years from the date of the cause of the physical harm or property damage to make a claim. However, the sooner you open product claims proceedings, the quicker your product liability lawyer can win you the compensation you deserve. The easiest way to find out if you have a valid claim is to talk to a member of our team. They will be happy to talk to you about your circumstances and available options in a free, no-obligation consultation.
How Much Could I Get For a Product Liability Claim?
Depending on the nature of your product liability injury, the level of damage to your other property, and the type of product, you may have the option of claiming against the manufacturer, importer, or retailer. However, your product liability lawyer will explain the implications of each, before recommending which is the best solution for you.
