Your claim will usually be from the producer or manufacturer, although it is possible to bring a defective products claim against a supplier e.g. a shop.
- Defective products are subject to ‘strict liability’, which means that you only need to prove that injury was caused by the product’s defect
- You do not need to show that the producer was negligent
- Liability cannot be excluded by contract
Producers usually take out Product Liability Insurance to cover the cost of compensation claims.
Where there is more than one producer of a product which causes injury all producers will be separately liable. If the defect was inevitable as a result of compliance with other laws.
Circumstances that might mitigate against a Defective Products Claim
