It is normal to expect your products and goods to be safe. Sadly, this is not always the case. Sometimes, cars, appliances, electronic devices (and more) have a safety defect, and they cause you harm. In this case, the manufacturer could have been negligent.
Making a product liability claim against a manufacturer, distributor, or retailer can be intimidating and stressful. The manufacturer’s public liability insurer will have a specialised legal team whose duty is to combat these compensation claims. In this case, you should seek advice from lawyers knowledgeable about product liability lawsuits.
Splatt Lawyers’ personal injury team understands product liability law and provides advice on a 100% no-win, no-fee basis.
According to Australian Consumer Law, if a manufacturer supplied a product with a safety flaw and it resulted in loss or harm, such as:

The severity of your injuries and the loss you’ve experienced will determine the degree of compensation you can receive. The monetary value assigned is based on the impact of your injuries on your quality of life.

Product liability claims tend to fall into three categories:
1) Design Defect Claim: There are design errors before the start of manufacture. There are two ways in which a product can be deemed to be faulty
a) The product does not meet consumer safety expectations.
b) A product that has harmed a consumer is considered legally defective unless the manufacturer can show that the design’s benefits outweigh the risks.
2) Manufacturing Defect: Something goes wrong when the product is being made and varies from the standard design specification.
3) Warning Failure: A manufacturer may be liable for not warning consumers of the dangers associated with its products.
Personal injury claims involving defective products differ from other legal claims because they don’t require proof of the manufacturer’s negligence.
Instead, you must show that the product was faulty or that you didn’t receive adequate warnings regarding its dangers. You have the right to seek damages regardless of the manufacturer’s intent.
There are several legal defences to a damages action for goods with a safety defect:
The Australian Consumer Law (ACL) aims to promote responsible business practices and limit potential dangers in consumer goods and services. All Australian state and territory governments follow these consumer protection provisions, including various regulations for safeguarding consumers and fostering a fair economy.
Product liability is one of the primary areas that the ACL controls. Manufacturers are strictly accountable to consumers for damages incurred due to a defective product under product liability rules.
