Commonly known as a product liability claims, if you have sustained an injury as a result of a defect or fault with a product you have purchased from someone, you may be entitled to pursue a claim for damages (monetary compensation). That can also potentially include whether the product is not reasonably safe for its intended purpose.
In addition to any warranty that may be associated with the purchase of a new or certain used products, you may have the right to pursue a claim for damages against the supplier and/or manufacturer of the product. Such claims can usually be pursued based on the negligence of the supplier and/or manufacture, for breach of an implied or express term of the contract of purchase and/or in reliance on a breach of the Australian Consumer Law.
You may also have the right to seek damages if a family member or loved one suffers an injury and/or passes away as a result of a fault and/or defect in a product. This includes potentially having the right to seek compensation for loss of dependency, loss of services and/or loss of consortium and/or for any resulting psychiatric injury (known as a nervous shock).
