No not just talking car accidents alone just when you see whole scope things understand why it could increase. Alsorts acidents even those who pursue life on edge hobbies not saying they should'nt but risks they take can often result in severe injuries. Then there the conflicts we had in last ten years where unfortunate very brave soldiers who sadly have been badly disabled for there country.
All you have to factor in lots cases we will see accident great they recover. Many will be just mere minor but there many who endup with bad disibilities or complications. Plus martyh people just become sick its human nature whether they sick enough the system there to decide. I think we hope it balances but as world changes risks get taken inocents get hurt. I wont even factor for self inflicited which why governments urged the healthy living mantra over the years they saw it coming. Many will cite the smokers many got lied to years back it was safe in thing to do. We as nation cant turn our backs on them surely.
Now you could argue we could change the law insurance pick the tab up for healthcare/living of that person now they cant work. If they did would hate to see what sort numbers insurance premiums goto for those without to cover those claims. fear this may happen at somepoint to ofset costs. Not problem if those dont claim get shafted.
Should business support someone who gets badly injured unable to work due to malpractise. Its certainly food for thought but I not advocating it its defenate one for discusion.
