Everyday items should be safe to use, but when something goes wrong, the consequences can be life-changing. If you’ve been injured by a defective or dangerous product, you may be able to claim compensation. We’re here to help.
Start Your Claim
A product liability claim allows you to seek compensation if you’ve been injured by a defective or unsafe product. These claims often involve items that were poorly manufactured, incorrectly designed, or not suitable for their intended use. If you were injured while using a product and the fault lies with how it was made or sold, you may have grounds to make a claim.
Claims can relate to a wide range of products, including faulty machinery, unsafe medication, defective vehicles, and hazardous household goods. In each case, the key factor is whether the product directly caused your injury and whether it should have been safer for consumers to use.
Compensation from a product liability claim can help cover medical bills, lost earnings, rehabilitation costs, and the broader impact the injury has had on your day-to-day life.
There are many types of products that can cause injury if they are not safe or properly manufactured. Common examples include:
Whether used at work or at home, machinery and electrical appliances can cause serious harm if they are faulty. This includes equipment that malfunctions during use, or household items that pose a fire or injury risk due to defects.
Medicines that have not been properly tested, contain undisclosed side effects, or are manufactured incorrectly can lead to serious health problems. In some cases, a product may be recalled after already causing harm to consumers.
Injuries may arise from defective car components such as brakes, airbags or tyres. These faults can cause or worsen accidents and lead to claims against manufacturers or suppliers.
Children’s toys, cleaning products, electronics and DIY tools can all become dangerous if poorly designed or labelled. For example, small toy parts posing choking hazards or electrical items that overheat and cause burns.
If you’ve been injured by a defective product, bringing a claim can offer vital financial and emotional support. It’s not just about compensation — it’s about helping you move forward.
If your injury has prevented you from working, you may be able to recover lost income. In more serious cases, we can also seek compensation for reduced future earnings.
We’ll help you recover the cost of treatment, including hospital stays, GP visits, prescriptions, and any long-term care you may need.
Compensation can also account for the physical and emotional impact of your injury, especially if your recovery has been lengthy or complex.
You may need physiotherapy, counselling, or other rehabilitation services. A successful claim can help cover these essential treatments.
If your belongings were damaged in the incident, your claim may include the cost of repair or replacement.
We make the process straightforward, so you can focus on your recovery:

You can claim compensation for any injury caused directly by a faulty or unsafe product. This includes physical injuries, illnesses from unsafe medication, and injuries resulting from defective machinery or vehicles. Compensation can also cover the wider impact on your daily life.
In most cases, you have three years from the date of injury or from when you became aware of the injury to start a claim. However, time limits can vary depending on your situation, so it’s important to get legal advice as soon as possible.
Strong evidence improves your chances of success. This can include photos of the faulty product, receipts or proof of purchase, medical reports detailing your injuries, and any correspondence related to the product’s defect or recall.
