Pursuing product liability claims in group actions

Product liability claims can often form into group actions or multi-party cases where numerous people are affected by the same or similar circumstances. It can often be the case that an issue with a particular product is one that has occurred during the manufacturing process which means that many may be affected. Depending on the size of batches involved, we could be talking about hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of people affected, particularly when an issue has gone on for several years.

It can be common for people to pursue product liability claims as part of group action cases where they have been affected by incidents of this nature. Victims could be eligible to recover compensation for any damages and losses that have been caused, from personal injury, to financial losses, and to general inconvenience.

Some infamous events we have helped people with

We have pursued many product liability claims that have formed into group and multi-party actions, including some most infamous events to have taken place in the UK in recent years. One of the most infamous events was that of the PIP Breast Implant Scandal where it emerged that tens of thousands of women had been fitted with breast implants that may have been unsafe. Unfortunately, investigations revealed that the French company behind the implants had been using industrial-grade silicon and that the shells of implants could be weaker than expected. In this action alone, we have recovered over £1.3m in damages for clients to date, which includes actions here in the UK and in France against the German regulator.

We have also helped people and recovered compensation for those affected by other medical implant claims over the years. Actions we have taken forward include the metal-on-metal hip implants, the vaginal and hernia mesh matters, the Oculentis matters, and many more.
