Product Liability Claims

When a product causes harm instead of doing what it’s meant to, you may have grounds to bring a claim. From medical devices to children’s toys, manufacturers and distributors have a legal duty to ensure their products are safe. We help individuals across Tallaght and Dublin take action when that duty is breached.

Types of Product Liability Claims We Handle

Faulty implants, joint replacements, or pacemakers can lead to serious complications. We support individuals who’ve suffered unnecessary surgeries, pain, or long-term harm due to poorly designed or defective medical devices.

Some medications cause harm due to contamination, incorrect labelling, or undisclosed side effects. We handle claims where prescription or over-the-counter drugs have caused illness, injury, or allergic reactions.

When surgical tools malfunction during procedures, patients may suffer avoidable trauma, infection, or extended recovery. We support claims where defective instruments were used in clinical settings without adequate quality control.

Workers injured because of poor-quality or missing protective gear may be entitled to compensation. We handle PPE-related claims involving chemical burns, respiratory issues, and injuries from inadequate gloves, masks, or harnesses.

If a household appliance or personal device causes a burn, electrical shock, or fire, you may have a claim. We act in cases where unsafe electronics malfunctioned due to poor design or assembly.

From brake failures to tyre defects, we pursue claims involving cars, bikes, or commercial vehicles that were dangerous due to poor design, manufacturing errors, or inadequate recall action.

Toys that break easily, contain choking hazards, or lack proper warnings can cause serious injuries. We represent parents in claims against manufacturers or distributors of unsafe or non-compliant children’s products.

If you’ve suffered illness after eating contaminated food—at home, in a restaurant, or shop—you may be able to bring a claim. We handle food poisoning and allergen mislabelling cases with care and precision.

When packaging fails to highlight crucial risks—like allergens, choking hazards, or side effects—it can lead to preventable harm. We act in claims where missing or unclear warnings caused injury or illness.
