On my way into work this morning, I followed a car which was advertising one of those 'ambulance chasing' services. It read something like "Had an accident? Claim today and get a free iPad!"
I really hate these companies. By pushing everyone into the compensation culture, they have also pushed up insurance costs for everyone, and caused more and more organisations to introduce stupid 'rules' and restrictions based upon spurious risk assessments carried out by idiots. They are nothing but greed-mongers.
Sometimes, people have to accept that the reason they tripped is because they're a clumsy oaf who wasn't looking where they were going; the reason they got scalded is because they are too stupid to know that a hot cup of coffee is, erm, hot. There's not always someone else to blame.
I'm sure that the promise of a free iPad will encourage a few more wastrels to claim, not because they have a case, but simply because they want an iPad. Those who have genuine reasons to claim will, I hope, go to reputable companies who don't need to offer free gifts to get business.
