Have you been a victim of a faulty product or service?
Did you know that if you have suffered a personal injury at the hands of a faulty product or negligent service, you have the right to file a claim for compensation?
For example, if you have been injured by a particularly bad hairdresser, you can sue for damages and any losses you have suffered.
You, as a consumer, are covered by the Consumer Protection Act 1987. You have rights, and if you have suffered, you should take advantage of these rights. If you bought a power tool, for example, that was faulty, and you can prove it was faulty and that was the reason why you were injured, then you have every right to claim for compensation and you stand a good chance of winning. Maybe you were at work, and the machinery you were using suffered equipment malfunction. This is not your fault, so why should you have to suffer the pain and distress, not to mention the struggle of having to deal with any loss of earnings?
You don’t have to prove that the company was negligent, but you do have to prove that your injury came as a direct result of a defective product. You may need expert witnesses, but attorneys will help you sort this out.
If you are considering filing a claim for compensation for a personal injury that came about due to a defective product or service, you will need to keep receipts and invoices, you should also make sure that you see a Doctor and take photos of your injury. You should also think about keeping the product if necessary. Just remember, you don’t have to be a victim, you can get compensated for your personal injury!
