This is your chance at the big money, so really bung it on. At the very least, I`d be hiring a wheelchair and turning up at the lawyers in that. Don`t waste your time hiring crutches, they don`t have the same visual effect :shock:
Don't forget the neck brace :)

I know a bloke who got hit from behind in his car by a council bus.

He has a law degree and his dad is a lawyer.

He was not hurt in any way but got out of the car holding his neck and complaining of whiplash.

Council settled for $10,000.

I know you are probably only dicking around, but just drop it!
Get everything you can out of them-they`re the parasites. :lol: :lol:

Did he complain the next year when his Council rates went up?

I agree with R.Mangay, if you are not hurt get on with your life and stop looking for a freebie. This will reduce the costs for everybody, and leave sufficent $$ for the genuine cases

Cheers,

Lawyers? Couldn`t agree more.
But for anyone to think Ins.companies will reduce policy costs because there`s been a fall in claims is all a bit naive.
Anyway, it was a joke. Why so fired up over it? :lol:

It seems that recently there has been an increasing amount of abuse etc. on this forum, and generally it appears to be from those who contribute the least, until a contraversial (and non-beer related) topic comes up and then it's all guns blazing.

I would suggest that this type of discussion is better left to a chat room, but failing that, the general discussion area (not the making beer section).

Just my 2c

I come home from a night with friends and expensive Whisky, and this is what I find?!

Calm it down, Making Beer isn't really the place for jokes about "whiplash! sue!" and over reacting in response.
