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.
Fulfilling 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 will want professional legal representation from lawyers who regularly negotiate with insurance companies.
To give yourself the best opportunity for success, you should consult with a Personal Injury legal firm experienced in product liability cases. Splatt Lawyers’ legal team will guide you through the claims process. We will be by your side at every step, ensuring you access all your legal entitlements.
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. In addition, a person’s dependents who are hurt or killed by dangerous products may also file a claim for the losses they sustain. Your compensation can include the following:
Product liability claims tend to fall into three categories:
1) Design Defects – There are design errors before the start of manufacture. There are ways in which a product can be deemed to be faulty
a) the product does not meet consumer expectations of safety.
b) a product that has harmed a consumer is considered legally defective unless the manufacturer can show the benefits of the design outweigh the risk.
2) Manufacturing Defect – Something goes wrong when the product is being made, and it varies from the standard design specification for that item.
3) Warning Failure – A manufacturer may be liable for not warning consumers of the dangers associated with its products.
Personal injury cases 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.
All businesses in Australia are subject to the Australian Consumer Law (ACL). It comprises a variety of regulations aimed at 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. Consequently, if a consumer buys a product that has a safety flaw and that flaw causes property damage or personal harm, the consumer may:
