\"faultyWhen anyone ever purchases goods or receives a service, there is a standard expected by buyers (and in law) that the goods\/service should be: of a satisfactory quality; fit for purpose; and as described. If these requirements are not fulfilled and the product has caused you personal injury as a result, you could be entitled to make a claim.<\/p>\n

The Law<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982<\/strong> regulates this. The Act’s key purpose is to give protection to you as a consumer from suffering personal injury as a result of inadequate standards. Claims of this nature often arise out of defects with food, furniture, vehicles, cosmetic products and electronic equipment that can cause an array of problems. Claims can be made from accidents causing mostly minor injuries like sprains and electric shocks to more severe injuries that have had a life changing effect – no matter how big or small you could still make a successful claim.
\n<\/p>\n

The Evidence<\/strong><\/p>\n

The most important piece of evidence in these types of cases will be the defective good itself. It is therefore a good idea for you to keep hold of the item \u2013 to aid the claim.<\/p>\n

Example<\/strong><\/p>\n

Not so long ago, these type of claims were coming in thick and fast as a result of PIP (Poly Implant Prothese) causing personal injury to many women across the UK and the world. Each of the claims for personal injury are being pursued through the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982 – it is therefore not a fundamental piece of legislation in relation to almost ALL<\/strong> personal injury claims occurring as a result of unsatisfactory goods\/services.<\/em><\/p>\n
