Product Liability Claims

Immediate Callback

Faulty or dangerous products can cause significant harm, from severe physical injuries to long-term health complications. Manufacturers, distributors, and retailers have a legal duty to ensure their products are safe for use. When they fail, they can be held liable. Good & Murray Smith LLP has extensive experience in product liability litigation, representing individuals who have suffered losses or injury because of poorly designed, manufactured, or labelled goods. Our solicitors combine legal expertise with a determined focus on achieving the best outcomes. 

Common Product Liability Claims

Our firm has extensive experience handling a wide range of product liability claims, including:

Defective Consumer Goods

Poorly designed or badly manufactured products can cause property damage and harm, both physically and psychologically. 

Defective Medical Products

Patients depend on medical products to heal and enhance their lives. However, design flaws, contamination, or manufacturer negligence can cause serious injury. 

Defective Industrial Equipment

Industrial work carries inherent risks, but equipment should not be one of them. Poorly made machinery or tools endanger workers and members of the public. 

Vehicle Fire Claims

Modern vehicles rely on a complex network of electrical, mechanical and fuel-based systems. When a fault arises in any of these areas, the results can be catastrophic. Fires caused by electrical short circuits, fuel leaks or overheating components can erupt suddenly, putting lives at risk. At Good & Murray Smith LLP, we have acted on some of the most significant vehicle fire cases in Ireland, holding negligent manufacturers and suppliers accountable and helping victims secure meaningful compensation.

Defective Construction Materials

Construction projects require robust, reliable materials. When subpar products compromise structural integrity or ignite fires, Good & Murray Smith LLP can demand restitution for builders, property owners, and occupants.

Failure to Provide Warnings or Instructions

Even a well-designed product becomes dangerous if the consumer lacks proper guidance. Good & Murray Smith LLP has advised on numerous cases seeking to reclaim losses suffered as a result.
