Product liability claims and imported goods

It is not just the manufacturers of a product that may be held responsible in a product liability claim. The importers of a product also have a degree of responsibility for products that they have brought into the UK under British law.

Importers
Importers may find it is wise to explore the potential for taking out product liability insurance, which may cover them against personal injury claims resulting from products they have imported. The aspiration is, of course, that any imported product will have been fully tested to minimise the possibility of a faulty product injury claim being brought against the importer, but it is probably impossible to prevent this completely.

Injured parties
For someone who has been injured by an imported product, contacting the importer may well be good advice; they may be inclined to offer compensation or other support without the need to go through the process of a personal injury compensation claim.

However, when this is not so, the best advice may be to contact a personal injury solicitor, who will be able to help an injured party through the various complexities of product liability law.

In general
The law in the UK covers imports from the EU and from countries outside it differently, so it is worth exploring the route that the faulty product took into this country. A personal injury solicitor may be able to undertake this work for you.
