Product liability is the legal principle holding the manufacturer or seller responsible for damages resulting from a product defect, even if this defect wasn't apparent or known at purchase time. Hidden defects, such as a manufacturing flaw not appearing until after use, warrant full compensation for resulting damage, not just product replacement. The next step is reaching out on WhatsApp to describe the damage you've suffered.

Types of Product Defects Legally Held Liable

Legally liable product defects include: a manufacturing defect making a specific product different from the rest of the production batch, a design defect making the entire product unsafe even if correctly manufactured, and a warning defect when the manufacturer doesn't provide sufficient warnings about certain use risks.

Proving the Defect and Its Causal Link to the Damage

We help you prove the defect's actual existence in the product, and the clear causal link between this defect and the damage you suffered, through independent technical inspection reports supporting your position before the responsible party or court.

Manufacturer Versus Seller Liability

We help you determine the party actually responsible for the damage, which could be the manufacturer if the defect is in manufacturing or design, or the seller if the damage resulted from improper storage or product tampering before sale.

Compensation for Bodily Injury From a Defective Product

When a defective product causes bodily injury, we help you claim comprehensive compensation covering treatment costs, the period of inability to work, and moral damage if the injury is serious, not just replacing the product itself.

Compensation for Additional Material Damage

When a defective product causes damage to other property, such as a fire resulting from an electrical fault in a defective device damaging the home, we help you claim comprehensive compensation fully covering this additional damage.

Product Recalls

When the manufacturer or regulatory bodies discover a serious defect affecting an entire production batch, these products are recalled, and we help affected parties understand their rights in this case even if they haven't actually been harmed yet.

Hidden Defects in Used Goods and Real Estate

The hidden defects principle isn't limited to new products; it extends to selling used goods and real estate, and we help buyers claim their rights when discovering a hidden defect the seller didn't disclose at sale time.

Collective Complaints Against a Widely Spread Defective Product

When a large number of consumers are harmed by the same defective product, we help them organize a collective complaint or claim, more effective than scattered individual claims in pressuring the responsible party.

Liability for Food and Health Products Specifically

We pay special attention to defect cases in food or health products, given their direct impact's severity on consumers' health, and help affected parties coordinate with health regulatory bodies alongside the civil claim.
