It is well known that a large amount of tabloid press column inches are periodically given over to what has been dubbed the UK's "compensation culture", with personal injury claim solicitors variously dubbed as "ambulance chasers" and "charlatans" in the reportage.
However, it's fair to say, from the solicitors' and claimants' standpoint, that where there's no blame there can be no claim and therefore, the public and journalists' ire would be better directed toward the negligence culture which causes accidents in the first place.
After a release of figures regarding huge compensation payments made by various county councils around the country a personal injury claim expert put it quite succinctly when he went on record to say: "For a personal injury claim to result in a pay out to the claimant, the defendant, in this case the councils, either have to concede negligence or it has to have been found they were negligent in court. So the problem is really down to council failure to avoid preventable accidents and injuries."
Various parties, including politicians, have regularly denounced and lampooned the country's safety legislation, dubbing it 'elf and safety gone mad and so perpetuating a laissez-faire attitude among some parties which sadly ends up in blameless victims suffering personal injury accidents and requiring the services of compensation solicitors.
Employees who see problems in a workplace – cardboard waste obstructing an entrance, badly stacked shelving, car park potholes – may be too scared to report these issues as they fear being seen as a trouble maker and so hazards go unchecked until a hapless worker or visitor suffers an accident and the lackadaisical attitude to health and safety is shown up, but by then it is too late.
Plus, if a council or organisation feels that the claim for compensation is spurious they are likely to rigorously defend it, and, generally, unfounded claims will be uncovered as fake, fraudulent or without grounds. In fact, reputable personal injury solicitors will be actively seeking out the claims which are less than legitimate and these will be rejected as a matter of course.
So, for anyone thinking of trying to cash in on the compensation bandwagon, be warned, attempting to defraud a body, whether a local council, car insurance company or supermarket chain, is against the law and may result in the false claimant being taken to court.
