Product liability
Litigation and advice service for all product liability cases,
including product recall, brand preservation, dispute resolution
and claims against suppliers.
Very few commercial businesses, particularly those serving the
public, can operate without incurring some kind of risk associated
with their products. When that risk becomes an issue of liability,
any resulting legal claims need skilful handling in order to
protect profits, brands and reputation.
Weightmans' Product Liability team has extensive experience in
managing and defending product liability claims across a wide range
of commercial sectors, including manufacturing, food, automotive,
marine, electrical and packaging. Our specialist lawyers act for
retailers, including leading supermarket chains, industrial
manufacturers and insurance companies’ among many others.
Should your business be subject to a product liability claim,
our aim will be to resolve it quickly and effectively. Wherever
possible we look for alternatives to litigation in order to
minimise cost, time involvement and damage to your operating
activities. In many cases, we can resolve complex multi-party
disputes by mediation or other means.
As a national firm, we have the network and resources to deal
with the largest of problems. We deal with the full range of claims
from bulk processing of minor disputes through to the most serious
personal injury cases.
We offer a complete service dealing with the wider aspects of
pubic liability, including handling the requirements of regulatory
and government bodies and minimising the effects of adverse press
reporting.
