Re: Panorama: The trauma industry (or Can the Compensation Culture affect your health

I despise the current "claim for everything" climate we live in and feel it has done little good to the legal profession, the country as a whole and those with a genuine legitimate case to pusue. I fully support someone who is seriously injured in seeking compensation but for things like falling over on a pavement and then suing the council makes me sick and it is time we binned it as it brings out nothing good in people.

For me it is one more example of the erosion of personal responsibility which i personally feel is to blame for more problems these days then we used to have. People live and have accidents but that doesn't mean you have to claim for every damn thing that goes wrong in life and sometimes it is better to see it as a lesson to not do something again as opposed to right now where people can keep making the same stupid mistakes until someone stops paying them out raising costs for all of us.
