Has anyone else noticed the claim culture we now live in ? Schools locally have stopped using the all weather pitches due to the high number of injury claims being brought against them. Very street around where I live has lost their paving stones and have now been replaced with ugly Tarmac, due to the high number of claims against the local council.I work as a nurse in a local Hospital and rarely a day goes by that someone doesn't come in after a fall and askes us for a report of their injuries so they can seek legal advice.Each evening on television we see No Win No Fee ads. Tonight I see over 5,000 Ex Northern Ireland Policemen want 300,000 pounds each for P.T.S. The Police Federation say the number of claims from the force could rise to 2,900 !Tonight Fire Brigade and Ambulance Unions in Northern Ireland say they await the outcome of the case as their members also which to pursue claims relating to the Troubles. As a nurse of 34 years I have seen it all and accepted it as the job I wished to do. If someone finds the career they choose too much, get out of it.The above were very well paid for the pursuance of their duties and what else did they expect ? So who comes out on the money grab next ? Teachers,Doctors or Undertakers. Enough is enough.
