How to Claim Compensation for Injuries Caused by a Faulty/Defective Product

The products we buy should always be safety tested by the manufacturing company to ensure no one is hurt, however this unfortunately does not always happen.

Often products that look to be in good condition have a fault or are defective to the point where they could be harmful to a user. This can be anything from a car part, to a toy, to clothing and electrical goods – the list is endless and injuries as a result can be severe.

If you or a family member has had an accident or injury due to faulty or defective products, then it should be a simple matter of contacting the manufacturer for compensation, but most manufacturers will try to get you off their case by offering you a refund, or free products.

Do not fall for this.

Manufacturers do this to get out of paying you what you deserve in repayment of lost wages, trauma, and even disability compensation. They will use all the tricks in the book to try to intimidate you into dropping your valid claim.

At Bonnar Accident Law, our personal injury solicitors will take on these thoughtless manufacturing companies, so you don’t have to and get you the best claim possible, no win, no fee.

Five Top Tips on How to Deal with Persistent Cold Callers

If you’re sick of nuisance cold-callers disrupting your time, below are five top tips to help you get rid of them.

At Bonnar Accident Law, we never cold call, but unfortunately there are many others who aren’t so concerned or respectful of people’s privacy.

Cold callers are usually sales-people who have been trained to pressure you into buying their product or services.

Often, these types of cold-calling companies will have found your phone number through online forms you may have filled out. Remember to be vigilant when filling in forms online and stop to think if you’re comfortable sharing your details on a particular site.

Here are our top tips to getting get of cold callers.

  1. Take your number down, permanently. You can do this by registering with Telephone Preference Service (TPS) after which point it will be illegal for any company or business to call you without your permission. If calls persist after you register with TPS, companies will likely have your phone number from previous calls to you. Simply and firmly inform them that you are protected by the TPS and you do not wish to receive any more phone calls from them.
  2. Report unsolicited calls. If you continue to receive unsolicited calls, report the company calling to TPS on 0345 070 0707 or the Information Commissioner’s Office on 0303 123 1115.
  3. Be firm and clear. If you end up having to speak to cold caller, be firm and clear in telling them that you will report them. Ask for the company name, write down the number and time of the call and report them immediately.
  4. Block unwanted numbers. Your mobile phone should have the ability to block any unwanted numbers. If you receive a cold call from a new number, simply block it on your phone.
  5. Be careful with online forms. Take a moment to think whether you really wish to share your details with certain sites.

If you’ve been involved in an accident, speak to one of our friendly and expert solicitors today.

Accident claim lawyer in East Kilbride?

Accident Advice Helpline

The other day I was checking out how our own website fared in a search for ‘accident claim lawyer in East Kilbride’ and stumbled upon Accident Advice Helpline’s entry.

It begins…

“Kilbride lies in Northern Ireland and like all surrounding areas it has suffered much conflict and many troubles over the past 100 years and still does to a lesser degree today. There has been a lot of economic troubles too especially since the 1950’s when the towns mill, Corgi Mill, closed down leaving a large percentage of the town unemployed and destitute in a time when welfare benefits were extremely new and extremely difficult to obtain. Today there is still a larger than average rate of unemployment here possibly due to the lack of industries and the aging population meaning people are keeping their occupation for longer.”
