Even if there is no contract in place, if a consumer can prove the good or service caused there injury, then the supplier is negligent!<\/li>\n<li>As with any other claim for personal injury, <strong><em>a supplier of a service in breach of contract is liable for any consequential loss suffered by the victim<\/em><\/strong>; a primary example is loss of earnings. The injured victim is entitled to recover loss of earnings as a result of their injuries preventing them from working.<\/li>\n<li>What if the supplier says that it was the goods in carrying out the service that caused an accident, and a victim should pursue the manufacturer? Well, <strong><em>despite what the supplier might tell you they are still responsible for the goods they provide if they are faulty, even if due to a manufacturing error<\/em><\/strong>! Your claim is against the supplier!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>(<a href=\"http:\/\/www.berr.gov.uk\/whatwedo\/consumers\/fact-sheets\/page38337.html\">Source<\/a>) <\/p>\n<p>Many of us (myself included; quite recently in fact!) have been involved in grievances when it comes to a good or service purchased. So it is essential to know what you can do about it!<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s even worse of course to sustain an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theinjurylawyers.co.uk\/\">injury<\/a> or suffer as a result of a good or service provided, and the consequences can often be rather serious.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>If you have been injured as a result of a good or service provided to you, seek expert independent legal advice now to find out where you stand!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theinjurylawyers.co.uk\/\">Claiming for compensation<\/a> isn\u2019t just about recovering your losses, but it is about the justice that needs to be served. <strong><em>There are a lot of cowboys out there willing to take your money for a less than adequate good or service!<\/em><\/strong> And it is not nice to be injured or have to suffer because of a service provided to an unsafe standard!<\/p>\n<p>So watch out, be vigilant, and do your research when it comes to any product or service you are looking to invest in!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ever heard of it?
