Compensation culture ... someone having a heart attack on a plane for the same reason. Has the compensation culture gone too far? Are the TV adverts and ambulance-chasers to blame? Or is any money received scant recompense for injuries? Have your say - dooyoo accepts NO LIABILITY for any decisions you may make after reading these opinions ...

Newest Review: ... and, having not had my car much more than a year, felt I lost out on quite a lot of money. I therefore decided to make a claim basically just to cover my losses and to compensate me for the stress I had been through. I really used to enjoy driving and I am now really nervous in a car even though my accident was nearly 3 years ago. I didn't see why I should be out of pocket as an innocent ... more

Working at a solicitors that specialies in Personal Injury claims and having had a car accident myself I can see this argument from all persepctives. I do think the compensation culture is a bit crazy and there are some people that are all too quick to make a claim, however, I do feel that most cf the claims made are justified. In my case, I was hit from behind by an uninsured driver and although I was not seriously injured I was out of pocket as I had to claim on my insurance and, having not had my car much more than a year, felt I lost out on quite a lot of money. I therefore decided to make a claim basically just to cover my losses and to ...  Read the complete review

I'm reading this Declan Swan article with absolute disgusted incredulity. You and people like you ... you revulse me! Bastards! You make me SICK! Declan Swan is a young boy who recieved compensation for an injury - IT HAPPENS EVERY DAY! So what if he was in a TV advert?! Fuck you! Leave this young innocent boy alone! I don't have all the money in the world, but I don't take it out on a small kid who got some 'cause of a serious injury! Whoever wrote this article is just a sad, sad asshole. Power to Declan Swan! I suggest you go see a psychiatrist, whoever the fuck insane person wrote this. Take a good hard look at yourself. I can't believe someone ...  Read the complete review

Britain has gone mad concerning the compensation culture. It just seems that everyone is willing, without any remorse or guilt, to sue anyone for the slightest of reasons. In some cases family members are making claims against each other for the simple reason of making easy money. There are even criminal organisation who are deliberately causing accidents involving motor vehicles, such as removing brake lights and then suddenly stopping in front of another car, then claiming for whiplash and other injuries, then making a claim against the innocent motorist that they have just 'conned'. There are many similar 'stunts that these criminals use and as it ...  Read the complete review

After reading a number of reviews on compensation culture, I thought I would throw my hat into the ring, primarily from a legal perspective, and moreover my own views; which ultimately is what doo you is about. Working for a law firm dealing in personal injury and employment tribunal representation I hope to give some insight on how this works, as there are a few reviews that talk a good game, and then bring it all down to "my taxpaying money that funds all this." Not necessarily so. I would like to offer my most sincere apologies in advance for what may be deemed as a banal and eye watering boring account of this in legal terms. Compensation is a vast ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Compensation culture: Money for nothing and your kicks for free... (2203 words)

With the news that Maxine Carr, the girlfriend of the Soham killer Ian Huntley, has requested breast enhancements on the NHS to boost her self-esteem, in the same county where one in three women struggle to get breast cancer drugs because they cost too much for that particular trust, isn't about time we got our priorities right when it comes to hand-outs. If I was the ex-girlfriend of one of the countries most notorious killers and given a new identity I certainly wouldn't be walking around sticking out my new pair of 38DDs! This need to please those who have put little into society is systematic of New Labors attitude that those who contribute the least are somehow able ...  Read the complete review
