When e-cigarettes are defective, they can cause severe injury to users. Their popularity as an alternative to smoking means our lawyers have dealt with various personal injury claims relating to faulty e-cigarettes in recent years.
Many people feel that e-cigarettes are a healthier alternative to traditional cigarettes. Still, faulty e-cigarettes can cause electrical fires, in some cases result in injury and damage to property.
If you've been injured because of a defective e-cigarette, our expert lawyers could help you make a claim to get the compensation that you deserve. Contact our team to start your claim.
Most of the claims we handle are on a no win no fee basis. This means that there's nothing for you to pay upfront, and you won’t have to pay any legal fees if your claim isn’t successful.
What are the e-cigarette manufacturers and retailers responsible for?
Manufacturers and retailers of products both have a responsibility to make sure e-cigarettes sold to consumers provide a reasonable level of safety.
An e-cigarette which catches fire or explodes through no fault of the consumer must be considered unsafe. This means the retailer or manufacturer should be found liable for any injuries caused as a result.
If you're unsure whether you can make a claim, you should speak to our experts. Their experience, in what is a relatively new area, means they’re best placed to help you understand your options.
