product liability Solicitors
Product liability in the UK holds manufacturers, distributors, and retailers responsible for defective or unsafe products that cause harm to consumers. Under legislation such as the Consumer Protection Act 1987, businesses can face legal action and compensation claims if their products fail to meet required safety standards. If you’ve suffered injury or financial loss due to a faulty product, knowing your rights and next steps is crucial.

What is product liability in the UK?
- Manufacturer responsibility: Companies must ensure items are designed, produced, and tested to prevent foreseeable harm.
- Strict liability: Under the Consumer Protection Act 1987, claimants don’t always have to prove negligence—only that the product was defective and caused injury or damage.
- Distributor and retailer obligations: Those in the supply chain may also be liable if they fail to address known defects or provide correct safety information.
- Types of defects: Claims often involve design defects, manufacturing errors, or inadequate warnings/instructions.
- Scope of harm: Injuries, property damage, and even economic losses may be recoverable if linked to a defective product.
How can a solicitor help with product liability claims, and how much does it cost?
A consumer rights solicitor can:
- Assess your claim: Investigating whether the product meets legal definitions of ‘defective’ and if there’s sufficient evidence to pursue compensation.
- Negotiate with insurers or manufacturers: Seeking out-of-court settlements to cover medical bills, repairs, or other losses.
- Represent you in court: If negotiations fail, preparing your case, gathering expert testimony, and advocating on your behalf.
Costs can vary based on case complexity and solicitor experience. Many charge £150–£300 per hour, but some offer no win, no fee arrangements if your claim has strong prospects. An initial consultation, often discounted or free, will help you explore your options, discuss potential outcomes, and estimate costs.
