Defective Product Claims

Solicitors Specialising In Product Liability In Scotland

We all use a variety of manufactured products in our day-to-day life largely without any issues, however, some defective products can cause injury. If you’ve been injured by a defective product, our product liability solicitors will work with you to establish if you have a claim and to get the compensation you deserve.

What Is Product Liability?

Product liability is where the manufacturer, or supplier, of a product is held responsible for an injury, illness or death caused by a defective product. Some businesses purchase product liability insurance for this exact reason – the insurance covers the compensation and legal costs if one of their products causes injury.

Our team of product liability solicitors will give you actionable legal advice if you’ve been injured by a defective product. We can discuss your options with you and even help you gather evidence for your product liability claim.

Examples Of Defective Product Injuries

There are many different ways that defective products can cause injury or illness but, to give you an idea of situations where you may have a successful product liability claim, here are some examples:

You’re injured by an appliance, or other defective product, in your home such as a kettle, toaster, or curling tongs.

You’ve received burns or a chemical injury from a cosmetic product that hasn’t been properly tested.

Illness caused by contaminated food bought from a supermarket or other store.

How Long Do I Have To Make A Product Liability Claim?

If you think you have a product liability claim, we recommend pursuing this as soon as possible. You have three years from the date of the injury or damage to make a product liability claim under the Consumer Protection Act.

Sometimes with defective product claims, the effects of the product aren’t always clear straightaway. In this case, you have three years from the date that you became aware of the effects of the defective product. There’s also a limit of ten years from when the product was put into circulation to begin a product liability claim.
