Efthymios’s Fight for Justice After a Devastating Car Accident
“HD Legal’s team fought tirelessly for me when I felt like I was getting nowhere. They were thorough, professional, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire process. Thanks to them, I’ve been able to recover both physically and financially from this traumatic event.”

Circumstances:
Douglas MacGregor purchased a brand-new washing machine from a prominent retail chain in Glasgow. Several months after installation, the washing machine exploded while in use, causing a fire that not only damaged his kitchen but also led to burns on his hand as he tried to put out the flames. The retailer initially denied any fault, and the manufacturer claimed that the explosion was due to improper installation, despite evidence to the contrary.

Challenges:
Douglas faced an uphill struggle in proving that the explosion was due to a manufacturing defect. Both the retailer and the manufacturer tried to shift the blame, arguing that the damage was caused by improper installation.
HD Legal’s panel of solicitors had to work extensively with product experts to establish the actual cause of the explosion. The case required meticulous investigation and the gathering of technical evidence, including a detailed examination of the washing machine’s internal components.
How HD Legal’s Panel of Solicitors Assisted:
HD Legal’s solicitors quickly identified a series of similar incidents involving the same model of washing machine. They arranged for an independent investigation into the faulty appliance.
They worked with expert witnesses to demonstrate that the explosion was caused by a defect in the product’s wiring. In addition, HD Legal coordinated physiotherapy treatment to help Douglas recover from his burn injuries. It addressed the emotional distress caused by the fire. The panel’s strategic approach ultimately led to a breakthrough in the case.
Compensation Outcome:
After intense negotiations, HD Legal’s panel of solicitors secured a £75,000 compensation settlement for Douglas, which covered his medical expenses, property damage, lost income, and pain and suffering.
