Thousands may look to claim for dangerous Whirlpool Tumble Dryers linked to fires

In November last year, electrical giant Whirlpool accepted that thousands of their large air vented tumble dryers and condensing tumble dryers may pose a potential fire risk when fluff catches the heating element. Despite this, they have yet to initiate a recall, and we are so far only seeing a product safety alert with the risk of fire being described as ‘rare’.

Now, thousands of owners are waiting for repairs, with some who have had fires waiting to claim money back that has been claimed form their insurers.

The recall affects potentially five million Hotpoint, Indesit and Creda brands sold between 2004 and 2015.

Why accident claim payouts can be different for each case

Compensation is based upon the severity of your injuries and how long the injuries will affect your everyday life. As such, there is not really such a thing as a “standard” payout for any particular injury as everyone can be affected differently.

In law the defendant has to take the claimant as they find them – for example if your injury is an exacerbation of an existing injury this doesn’t mean you don’t have the right to claim as, of-course, if it wasn’t for the injury, your condition would not have been aggravated!

So how is a payout assessed? Well, put simply a payout is always assessed on the particular facts of each individual case. There is no such thing as one payout for this injury and another for something else – each case will have its own individual payout.
