Faulty, defective products can cause serious injury to you and or your property. Under the Consumer Protection Act 1987 manufactures are liable for personal injury caused as a consequence of a products defect.

The reaction to injuries caused by faulty goods can be sceptical and often complicated when is comes to claiming compensation. This is why if you wish to pursue a compensation claim based on a personal injury from a faulty or defective product you should always point out the exact defect of the product and note down exactly what happened, which will help in proving that it was the product that caused injury and or damage.

You are entitled to claim compensation if you have suffered personal injury or if damaged has been done to your property. A key factor that is important to find out is whether your claim falls outside of the small print of the product. If the problem you have experienced is stated in the small print your chance of claiming compensation is very slim.

Under the Sales of Goods Act, manufactures have to make sure your product is:

• Satisfactory quality
• Fit for purpose
• As described on the packaging

If you are sold a product that fails to meet these guidelines you could be entitled to compensation if you have suffered as a result of it.
