Yeah Tans
Getting deliberately involved in an accident just to make a quick buck, I bet you were in cahoots with the guy that caused it.

I'm with sippo on this....if there is a genuine loss of earnings, then of course you should be compensated...but if its a little bit of opportunism, then no...
As for rises in car ins premuim, I suspect that is down to ALL of the following
- increase in crashes involing uninsured vehicles
- increase in number of claimiant payouts
- number of stolen cars...

If anyone is genuinely injured in an accident, and they miss work because of it then there is no issue with them claiming.
The problem is those people who make a claim when it is unwarranted.
A few years ago I was hit by someone who didn't know the difference between Red & Green, and my insurance company put me in contact with a claims recovery agency.
It quickly became obvious that all they were interested in was making a compensation claim against the other drivers insurance company, Despite me confirming on several occasions that we were all ok.
They were fuck all use in trying to help me get the money back that we had paid in car hire & repair costs.

I agree totally, the litigation society. I think people should be allowed to claim for injuries that were not their fault but I dont agree with the size of most of these claims, cover the cost of any loss of earnings is enough IMO for pretty much all of these except the more serious ones. It should not be a first reaction of people to think "get a fucking claim in ASAP" thats just wrong IMO. |

Exactly Posh Red. If people are genuinely injured, loss of earnings effect etc. then you can't blame people for trying to claim.

If I was made to sit around for a week or so in pain because of somebody else's idiocy, I'd want to be compensated for it.
Given the choice, I'd rather take the no pain option. When there is no such option however, then cash me up.
