Santa on red alert over Christmas compensation claims
Once upon a time, families would gather at Christmas and spend quality time together putting up the tree and making paper chains. But boy, have times changed in Britain - even if you'll never need to use your sunglasses again during the grey summer months, you'll most definitely need them at Christmas.
It seems that we as a nation have gone crazy over the birth of a very special somebody and soon, sure enough, a jolly festive fan is going to get hurt and make a Christmas compensation claim. Yes, I can see the tabloid headlines already... David Beckham falls off ladder after Victoria demands to have brightly lit Santa on roof'.
There was a time, not so long ago, when Christmas was about having time off work, spending precious moments with loved ones and decorating the tree with snowmen made from cotton wool and felt. Sadly, as each Christmas passes, the emphasis is geared towards spending cash on very outrageous, colourful and expensive decorations.
No matter if it's at home, work or in a bustling shopping centre, you can be sure to see a completely and utterly over the top Christmas display. A flashing light here, a moving Santa there, the choice of Christmas displays seems to be increasing by the year and some people just can't get enough of them.
Small cul-de-sac communities are uniting together at this time of year to raise the profile of their road with the glitz and glam of Christmas lights. Yes, personal injury solicitors, builders and office workers love coming together at this time of year to showcase their decoration extravaganza.
While extreme flashing light bulbs of every colour of the rainbow might offend and aggravate some people, it seems that decorations in the work place have raised some even bigger concerns with company bosses in the UK. In the lead up to Christmas, the news pages were dominated by stories of companies banning decorations in fear that employees might injure themselves and make costly compensation claims. Whether it's a bang on the head with a hanging Rudolf or a trip on the Christmas tree's leg, some people are very concerned about the possibility of being sued.
For example, a British tourist recently made a successful accident claim after a 23-metre high Christmas tree fell on him during a visit to Prague. The man sustained a fractured femur and injuries to his spine and chest after strong winds blow the tree over at a Christmas market. He spent weeks in hospital recovering from the incident and enlisted a lawyer to help him make a compensation claim. After liability was accepted, the tourist was awarded £13,600.
So it seems that Christmas could potentially spark a huge number of accidents. Then again, if we all started worrying about stray decorations here and there, none of us would let our hair down and enjoy the festive season the way it should be, even if some people do insist on decorating their house top to bottom in fairy lights.
