What is a Faulty and Defective Product?

A faulty and defective product refers to a product that has been manufactured or supplied with a defect that makes it unsafe for its intended use. A "Faulty and Defective Product Compensation Claim" can be made against the manufacturer, supplier or retailer of the product, and the compensation can be awarded for any injury or damage caused by the defective product.

We rely on traders and manufacturers to make requisite checks on products before we purchase them to ensure they are safe for use by the public. Sometimes, however, this doesn't happen and products reach us that are dangerous. If you or a loved one has suffered injury or illness due to a defective product, contact the expert team of personal injury solicitors at Forbes today to make a claim for compensation.

What do we mean by faulty products?

"Faulty products" is a term that could cover a number of possible things. A few examples could include:

  • A chair which breaks under the weight of a person.
  • Electrical equipment that catches fire.
  • Shelving which doesn't properly support weight and collapses.
  • Glass bottles which shatter in your hand.
  • Defective vehicle that causes a road accident.

If a product does not perform the way it is supposed to and, as a result, causes injury or illness to you or a loved one, you may have a claim for compensation against the manufacturer who produced the item, or the trader who sold it to you.

What can I do?

There are strict time limits that dictate when you can make a faulty product accident claim by, so if you or someone you love has suffered as a result of a defective item, contact the expert team of solicitors at Forbes today to get the ball rolling on your claim.

All of our initial advice is free of charge, with no obligation to go ahead. We even operate on a no win, no fee basis so that there's no financial risk to you should your claim be unsuccessful.
