Well done to the person who was investigating this claim – he noticed that 3 or 4 claims had been made by the same person and bingo – the fraudster has been clocked!

Trying to claim for a number of accidents he’s never had the fraudster has now been jailed. The claims, had they completed would have brought him over £20k but would have cost his local authorities more than £100K
The guy who was unemployed and has had several previous convictions was sentenced to 15 months sentence bars and advised he must serve at least half of this in prison

Fortunately, as the claims were thought of as suspicious in the early stages, no actual monies were paid out.

If your having a nice family day out the last thing you expect is to end up with a load of scaffolding falling on you. Well, that’s what happened to a young mum in Wiltshire this weekend.

Watching a stuntmen show with her two young children, and with her 14 month daughter in her arms, the scaffolding tower behind her collapsed and ended up on top of her.

Luckily the baby was OK but she needed treatment in hospital. Following investigations, it was found that the tower has not been erected properly so she was able to claim for compensation. She received £4,700 for the pain and suffering she encountered from this horrible ordeal.

The wagon was reversing round the corner as it hit the man at work with the bin lift. Increased pressure at work and having to cut corners to save money has been the blame for this accident!

The accident is being investigated further by the councils heath and safety team to ensure that the correct procedures are put in place to prevent this from happening again in the future.

Solicitors generally review cases in light of the evidence provided by the victim and assess the claim and the probability of winning the case in court. The advantages of progressing a claim is that the victim can be compensated for loss of earnings which could be caused by taking time off work to recover, some form of satisfaction for the stress and trauma caused by the accident, a financial aid to help victims through any treatment they may need to undergo. In other circumstances if the injury is caused by a trip on the pavement, it may help fix and carry out a repair to stop someone else falling victim to the same problem.

A very close family member of mind was recently punched in the face. It was a brutal attach by a guy on a girl. It is not right what happened and it is not big or clever.

But….

When I was at uni I used to watch a lot of day time TV especially the compensation adverts. They were on more than any program that was interesting. I always wondered who would speak to them but now I know.

The victim has stated that they will seek compensation and this I think they will get. We went to two places both the hospital and the police station and they both stated that we should apply for compensation.

This is unreal no wonder the state that we are in as a country.
