Product Liability

A common law action can be prosecuted on behalf of an injured person to recover damages as against the manufacturer or importer of a product which, in certain circumstances, is responsible for that injury.

There are strict liability provisions under the Australian Consumer Law. These laws generally applying to a manufacturer that supplies goods in trade or commerce. A manufacturer, under the Australian Consumer Law can be a company that is involved in:

the making or assembly of goods;
the importation of goods even if the maker of the goods is not located in Australia;
uses its brand name in relation to the sale and marketing of the goods;
promotes itself as the manufacture of the goods;
permits another person or entity to promote the goods as having been manufactured by that company.

The laws pertaining to any product liability claims can be a combination of the Australian Consumer Law, State law such as the Sale of Goods Act and even the common law.

Any person injured as a result of a safety defect in a product or good that has been supplied in trade or commerce can prosecute a claim for damages commensurate with the injuries sustained.

Recently I concluded a very long Common Law case against my employer for a significant injury I received in the workplace. Brydens Lawyers worked tirelessly to get the best possible result. I was kept informed during the process & they ensured that my input was respected every step of the way. It is a long and at times stressful process, however I always felt my legal team had my very best interest in the forefront at all times. I cannot thank them enough.
