Injured by a defective or unsafe product? We can help you take action.

​

We rely on everyday products to be safe — from appliances and tools to medicines, toys, and vehicles. But when something goes wrong, the results can be serious. If you’ve suffered an injury due to a faulty or dangerous product, you may be entitled to compensation through a product liability claim.

​

At J.V. Geary Solicitors, we help clients across Ireland hold manufacturers, retailers, and distributors accountable when products cause harm. Whether the injury was minor or life-altering, we’re here to protect your rights and secure the justice you deserve.

​

What Is Product Liability?

Product liability law covers injuries caused by defective products — whether due to faulty design, poor manufacturing, or a failure to warn consumers of potential dangers.

​

You may have a claim if your injury was caused by:

• A defective electrical appliance (e.g. fire, explosion, electrocution)

• A faulty car part (e.g. brake failure, airbag malfunction)

• Contaminated food or drink

• Unsafe children’s toys or baby equipment

• Dangerous medicines, supplements, or medical devices

• Defective tools, equipment, or machinery

• Cosmetic products causing burns or allergic reactions

 

The defect may be obvious — or it may only come to light after expert investigation. We’ll help you understand what went wrong and who’s responsible.

​​​

Who Can Be Held Liable?

Depending on the circumstances, a claim may be made against:

• The manufacturer of the product

• The importer or distributor

• The retailer or seller

• Other parties involved in the supply chain

 

Under Irish and EU law, manufacturers can be strictly liable for injuries caused by defective products — meaning you don’t have to prove negligence, only that the product was defective and caused harm.

​

What Can You Claim For?

If you’ve been injured by a defective product, you may be entitled to compensation for:

• Pain, suffering and ongoing physical or emotional trauma

• Medical expenses and future treatment costs

• Loss of income or reduced earning capacity

• Damage to personal property

• Long-term care, assistive devices or rehabilitation

 

In some cases, if a product has caused widespread harm, group actions or multiple claims may also be brought.
