How can we help?
Head injuries caused by defective products can have life-changing consequences, impacting your physical health, mental wellbeing, and ability to work or carry out day-to-day activities. If you or a loved one has suffered a head injury due to a faulty product – such as a defective helmet, unstable furniture, or an unsafe ladder – you may be entitled to claim compensation. At Stephensons, our specialist personal injury solicitors have extensive experience in pursuing head injury compensation claims and can help you secure the compensation you deserve.
Head injuries from defective products occur when substandard or faulty items fail to perform as intended, resulting in trauma to the head. These injuries can range from minor concussions to serious brain damage, depending on the severity of the incident. Common examples include:
Such injuries may result from design flaws, manufacturing faults, inadequate safety warnings, or failure to meet safety standards. Whether the product was used in the home, workplace or a public space, if the injury occurred due to no fault of your own, you may be eligible to pursue legal action.
Yes, if you’ve suffered a head injury as a result of a defective product, you may be able to claim compensation. Under the Consumer Protection Act 1987 and common law negligence principles, manufacturers, retailers and suppliers have a duty to ensure their products are safe for use. If this duty is breached and you are harmed as a result, you may be entitled to compensation.
To make a successful claim, it will be necessary to establish that:
Claims must usually be brought within three years of the date of the injury or the date you became aware of the defect. However, there are exceptions to this rule, for example if the injured person is under 18 or lacks mental capacity. There are other exceptions too so you should always seek advice as early as possible.

Generally, you must start your claim within three years of the date of the injury or the date you became aware that the defective product caused your injury. However, there are exceptions to this rule so you should always seek advice as early as possible.
