Bill Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 What does anyone else think about the case of the Liverpool woman claiming compensation for criminal assault by a three-year-old? I think this woman has a bit of a nerve, after all it was her that left the toddlers in the car with a car jack to play with instead of toys. If anything she herself should be paying the compensation to her son rather than claiming it from the state. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Kennedy Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 I pinched myself when I heard about it, and concluded that I was still alive and that the lunatics were indeed running the assylum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 On a similar note: it appears the Gov are to introduce a system of all liability for traffic accidents between cyclists and motorists fall on the motorists insurers, irrespective of blame. The theory being one of "vunerability" rather than irresponsibility. Having thought for a minute about the issue; hows about - a national mandatory personal insurance "liability" scheme, which everyone pays into and which funds all victims claims for compen. Thus as well as traffic accidents; if some Neaderthal kicks someone's head in on a Friday night; the perpetrator's insurance would cover any claim?

Bazj Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 I have fitted a video recording system into my car which records everything both front and back while I am driving. It is court admissable if required and constantly records while driving. You may have read about the guy who took his Vauxhall into a garage and had the same kind of system installed which; when he got the car back and played the recording, showed him the car had been driven at 160 mph!!! police are investigating and the video is on youtube!! for what it costs, it would save me a lot of money if I was in a no fault accident!

Dizzy Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 Yet again I find myself having logged onto the forum and typed a reply to a post to find when I finally click submit that I am asked to logged in !?! After logging on again my heartfelt and constructive (although slightly longwinded) reply to this topic simply vanished and I was offered a blank box to retype my reply. Please Gary can you do something about this so at least it is obvious if we have been timed out before we spend ages typing a relply into a box which goes off to fairy land Maybe it's my fault though for having more than one thing to do at a time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asperity Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 Asp; you'd be surprised just how many Neanderthals are actually in work earning money - which they then spend on binge drinking! But they don't spend it on insurance premiums, which is my point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the Neanderthals think that mandatory means it doesn't apply to them It's mandatory to have a driving licence, insurance and an MOT certificate to drive a car but look how many think they can get away with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
