Hogan Lovells - We have a panel of legal and medical experts
When manufacturing and distributing products, such as food, electronics or cars, it is impossible to foresee every potential liability that arises as the result of trying to put a product out there in the world.
We at Hogan Lovell are there to guide and support your project from start to finish, making sure there are a few hiccups along the way as possible.
We will provide you with dignity and support
An exhaustive investigation into the origin of a product and of its supply chain may be required just to identify the fault, which may result in a product liability claim. Our panel of scientific and medical experts will aid the design, manufacturing and management processes, providing innovative solutions to unforeseen problems.
They will provide you with the dignity, support and personal legal services you deserve. Of course, you will need to be able to prove that the product was the cause of the injury before you make a claim. In order to do so, you will need the help of medical experts as well as individuals who can provide information and evidence in support of your claim.
We will gather the relevant information
Hogan & Lovell's Attorneys will gather the relevant evidence and testimony, as well as formulate the strongest argument for your case. Always keep the receipt of any product you buy, because it is the proof of purchase, and necessary in any product liability claim.
Most companies will keep a digital copy of your receipt, but you will have to be able to identify the purchase in some way for them to track it down. While your right to product liability claims is cemented on the Consumer Protection Act, you as the consumer are also bound by certain contractual obligations.
Your claim will only be ruled valid if you can prove that the injury you sustained was because of the defect in the product and that the defect could of and should have been avoided.
