Product Liability
Have you been injured or suffered economic loss due to goods that were faulty, unsafe, or not fit for their intended purpose?
Whether it’s a cut, burn, broken bone (fracture), or something more serious you may be eligible for compensation by making a product liability claim.
Depending on the specific circumstances, this can include:
- Non-economic loss also known as pain and suffering
- Lost income (including past and future economic loss and loss of superannuation)
- Past and future medical expenses
- Travel costs
- Future care needs such as household and domestic assistance including cleaning, gardening, home maintenance, and home modification needs
- Voluntary services and care provided by certain family members
- Claims by spouses for loss of consortium
- And more
Importantly, if the claim is worth $25,000.00 or more, the party at fault must also pay towards your legal costs in addition to the compensation paid to you.
Common items that can be the subject of claims include:
- Automotive parts
- Beauty products
- Consumer goods
- Defective products such as a broken chair at a café or restaurant
- Faulty medical devices
- Household appliances
- Pharmaceutical drugs
- And more

There are time limits.
Importantly, if you have not settled within 3 years, you must commence legal proceedings in Court otherwise your claim will be out of time.
Our legal fee guarantee: no win, no fee.
If you receive an offer of settlement, speak to us before accepting it. We guarantee to get a better result for you—and if we don’t, then you don’t pay us.
We will only take on your matter if the compensation that you are likely to receive will exceed all legal costs.
If we do not succeed with your case, you will not be charged any legal fees and we do not require you to pay any legal fees until your case reaches a successful settlement.
