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 ...

There are many similar 'stunts that these criminals use and as it is hard to prove against there claim then the insurance companies simply pay out, thus forcing the companies to raise there premiums for everyone else. Britain has become a nation of greedy, money grabbing people who are willing to do the least amount of effort to gain the maximum amount of money, (enter the ... more

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'.

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 ...
