Claiming compensation

Claiming compensation

Ive got a friend who just found out they had an accident when walking across the street because of shitty tarmac and she could have claimed for compensation at the time but its too late now...they cud have just got loads of money! Has anybody here ever had like an accident at work, outside or whatever they could have claimed for?

My mate got ran over a few years back and was on the verge of dying but he's ok now. Albeit he's a little bit 'slower' than he was before but his compo sure made up for that!

Put it this way he bought a brand new house (which he kitted out big time) and car with it and was by no means skint after that

im in the process of claiming for a car accident i was in in april its taking f**king ages

and endless trips to the specialist / phsyio

imo compo is a massive grey fucking area, a lot people abuse the system and get money for fuck all.

and claiming because of bad tarmac is one of those stupid fucking reasons, just watch where you going it aint that hard, i'm betting you could find someone to blame for any accident if you tried hard enough.

its the councils duty to keep the streets safe, if they neglect their duties and people get hurt they should be liable.

if i fell and fucked my knee and couldnt work id be suing because not everyone can prevent a trip or a fall all the time. its not a case of looking where you're going.

people tend to take this piss with compo and claim when they DONT deserve it

whiplash is probably the main scam!

put all our premiums up the wankers

I know all about this, unfortunately

You wouldn't be complaining if you won a load of money through it, and insurance is expensive as fook anyways, it's only right people get some money back off the biggest con going!

aint the reason its expensive tho cos ppl keep makin false claims?

so the insurers are gettin their money back?

and i wouldnt put the claim in to start with - couldnt and wouldnt do it.

yeah but the more people claim the more insurance prices will go up so your gonna end up paying for it anyway

Well said that man! If you have an accident, how can you "just find out" a couple of months later what caused it

I split my head open when i was 5 in a SOFT PLAY.

The bouncy castle started deflating, i hit my head on a bare brick wall.

Could have got a couple of grand easy (which would have came in handy at 18...) but my parents didn't claim.

Was crazy not to claim like, but bit late now

funny when u go into a town centre and see them daft arses askin if any1 has had accidents etc...see if they can claim.

see all the scroat's filling their heads full of shit hoping to buy a new bag of glue with the cash

Yup, they are proper desperate aswell.

I once said "yeah I cut my finger once"

"Oh right, did you get infected, any long term damage etc etc, you could claim"

i would never claim if i knew something was my fault or it was petty... but if its not my fault and im missing work damn right i'd be at the solicitors

Yes unfortunatley this "not my fault" is what gets a abused

Like people who fall over through areas that are wet and claim even though there were signs there :spangled:

ive claimed compen twice. once was for salmonella from a butchers, (fawcetts) was ill like, in hospital for 4 days then second time someone smashed in to the back of me mates ma's car and the car doors were bent in on each other and we could'nt open the doors so me and me mate got out the windows but his ma is like 16 stone so even if she could get out the window there was no way she was gona fit through it so we had to yank the door till it bent back, by coinsidence it was right outside a car garrage so they were very helpfull

got 3 grand for the salmonella case and 2000 n odd for the whip lash so not to bad

yeah some cases the person deserves compo but most of the time its just money grabbing cunts playing the system

if there are clear signs then people shouldnt claim... its taking the piss if they do.

i hate the whole compo culture coming over from the us, but if someone has a genuine accident that someone else is liable for then claiming is a right.

its the 'emotional damage' ones that make me laugh... utter tripe, it just adds a zero on the end... i couldnt sleep for weeks after slipping on a wet floor, fuck off
