Amazing experience
After placing an enquiry, I received a call 20 minutes later, and then 2 hours later, I had a solicitor assigned to me. They were absolutely incredible right from the word go - amazing and very prompt with replies, answering all my questions and keeping the process moving. We finally completed today and I am so unbelievably happy. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Lawhive again in the future if needed.
Lily
First class service
I initially made an online enquiry about a tricky conveyancing matter and received an immediate call back. They understood straight away what was needed and gave me a quote that was very reasonable. It was such a pleasure to find someone who was cheerful, professional and completely reassuring as I’d been getting quite anxious about the sale of my house. The service Lawhive has provided is absolutely first class and I cannot recommend them enough.

Great service when you need clarity and calm
Our solicitor was warm, friendly and provided crystal clear communication. A lot of conveyancers assume customers know everything about the process already, so it was really appreciated to hear each stage included in the price given.

01 overview
If you’ve been harmed by a faulty product, you don’t have to face the aftermath alone. Whether it’s a defective appliance, unsafe medication, or faulty vehicle, our expert product liability solicitors are here to help.
| Assessing your case | Our solicitors start by evaluating your situation to determine if you have a valid product liability claim. They’ll review evidence like medical records, product receipts, or photos of the defect. This initial assessment gives you a clear understanding of your legal position and potential compensation. |
| Establishing liability | Proving fault in a product liability claim requires legal expertise. We’ll investigate the product’s defect - whether it’s a manufacturing flaw, design error or failure to provide proper warnings. Our solicitors work to establish the responsible party and build a strong case against them. |
| Filing product liability claims | We’ll handle the preparation and submission of your claim, ensuring all necessary documentation is accurate and complete. From consumer protection laws to regulatory standards, our solicitors leverage every applicable law to strengthen your case. |
| Negotiating settlements | Many product liability cases can be resolved outside of court. Our experienced solicitors negotiate with manufacturers, insurers, or other liable parties to secure a fair settlement on your behalf, saving you time and stress. |
| Legal representation in court | If a settlement cannot be reached, our litigation lawyers are fully prepared to represent you in court. They’ll present your case confidently, using evidence and legal arguments to advocate for the compensation you’re entitled to. |
Dealing with a defective product can be overwhelming, but we try to make the process easier. Here’s why you might like us over a traditional law firm:
The cost of hiring a product liability solicitor will depend on the complexity of your case. At Lawhive, we can offer an initial consumer rights case assessment (up to 10 pages) with advice for as little as £149. You’ll receive a fixed-fee quote tailored to your needs, so you’ll always know what to expect with no surprises or hidden charges.
In addition to solicitor fees, there may be other expenses involved in a product liability claim. These will be unique to your case, but could include:
Your solicitor will be able to guide you through the full legal process. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of the typical process for pursuing a product liability claim:
Your solicitor will start by understanding your case, reviewing evidence, and explaining your legal rights. This step ensures you have a clear strategy for moving forward.
Strong evidence is key to a successful claim. Your solicitor will gather documentation such as purchase receipts, photos of the defect, medical records, and expert evaluations.
Our lawyers will investigate the defect’s cause - whether it was a design flaw, manufacturing issue, or inadequate warnings. They’ll identify the responsible parties, such as manufacturers or retailers.
Your solicitor will prepare and submit your product liability claim, ensuring compliance with all legal requirements. This includes referencing relevant consumer protection laws.
Many cases are resolved without court intervention. Your solicitor will negotiate with the liable parties to secure a fair settlement for your damages.
If negotiations fail, your case may proceed to court. Your solicitor will represent you throughout, presenting a compelling argument backed by solid evidence.
Product liability claims generally fall into three main categories:
While it’s possible to file a claim without legal help, having a solicitor ensures your case is handled professionally and increases your chances of success. They’ll manage complex legal procedures, gather evidence, and advocate for fair compensation.
The timeline depends on the complexity of your case. Straightforward claims may settle in a few months, while cases involving court proceedings can take over a year.
Liability may rest with manufacturers, distributors, or retailers, depending on the defect. Your solicitor will investigate the chain of production to identify the responsible party.
Yes, if the defective product caused psychological harm or distress alongside physical injuries or financial loss, this can be included in your claim.
If you’ve been harmed by a defective product, don’t wait to seek legal support. Our experienced product liability solicitors are here to help you navigate the claims process and secure the compensation you deserve. Get a personalised fixed-fee quote today and take the first step toward justice.
