Maybe we should all sue the legal profession for the reduced quality of life we are all experiencing due to the explosion of "public liability" claims. May have a problem finding a legal beagle to take that one on!!!!!!!!
I was recently told of a young couple in Qld, just 24 and 26, who had paid off their first home and were moving to acreage. They were able to afford this because they had both made successful claims against businesses on whose property they had both sustained injuries. Apparently the message their peers are receiving is, be careless, get injured, make a successful claim, and get ahead. And we wonder why there is a problem?

In my time I've witnessed a couple of bad traffic accidents. Rather than count myself lucky I wasn't injured, and rather than feel upset for the victims and their families, I should have realised that I've been traumatised for life and I should be getting some compensation for the healthy fear (caution) I now have of bad traffic situations. I should never have been put in that position and someone should pay! And another thing, seeing the injury James Hird suffered has caused a lessened enjoyment of football. And knowing people die of old age every day has absolutely destroyed my zest for life. I think only lots of money will fix me. Don't make me drag you all through the courts - I'll accept a reasonable settlement! -- * You are subscribed to the aus-soaring mailing list. * To Unsubscribe: send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] * with "unsubscribe aus-soaring" in the body of the message * or with "help" in the body of the message for more information. -- * You are subscribed to the aus-soaring mailing list. * To Unsubscribe: send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] * with "unsubscribe aus-soaring" in the body of the message * or with "help" in the body of the message for more information.
