Personal injury caused by defective product - £5,750 settlement

Stephensons' personal injury solicitors were able to achieve an out of court settlement of £5,750 for a client who suffered a head injury as a result of the supply of a defective product (all weather hammock).

Our client was home alone, when they decided to use the hammock. Within the space of one minute, the hammock collapsed as a metal bracket holding one of the rings came off and hit her on her left temple. Our client was left with a 4 cm scar to the left temple, a bruised back, a grazed and bruised elbow and a black eye from a hairline down to her cheek bone.
