You have the right to claim compensation should you be injured as a result of using a defective product.

J S Miller Solicitors have succeeded in claiming compensation in a number of cases where a product was defective. Some examples are:

Our client was distraught when her hairdresser applied a solution to her scalp which caused extensive and irreversible damage to the hair, burns to the scalp, psychological trauma associated with the cosmetic damage and loss of hair.

We successfully pursued the hairdressing salon concerned and recovered £3350.00 for the damage caused.

Our client was standing on some stepladders which collapsed as she was standing on them suffering injuries. The ladders had been used in accordance with manufacturers' guidelines and after a bit of a fight we were able to settle the claim out of court for £1500.00

Our client had bought some shoes to wear to a family event but unfortunately the heels of the shoes gave way due to the glue used on the heel being below standard.

Initially the shoe store that the shoes were purchased from denied responsibility saying the Portugese manufacturer was to blame but eventually the UK insurers agreed to compensate our client and we recovered £4500.00 for our client.

There are a number of claims against drug companies, particularly in the US, where harmful side effects were known by the drug manufacturers.

One of the most common claims relating to medication which is unsafe is in connection with Vioxx which was withdrawn from the market worldwide because new data from a clinical trial found an increased risk of heart attack and stroke.

However, whatever the circumstances of your claim, we at J S Miller are here to listen and do what we can to achieve justice and provide support to you whether we simply answer a few questions you may have or assist you in dealing with a full claim for compensation.
