Have these people no shame

Claims firms tout for business at Blackburn and Burnley hospitals (From Lancashire Telegraph)

Think I've heard it all now have these leeches no shame, it takes some kind of low life to try and earn a living in this way, scum bags

Don't think there's much lower to go than cretins like those.
I think some jobs should not be classed as jobs.

Praying on peoples misfortunes is the lowest of the low in my book

Thatcherism at work.

Suprised the Tories aren't applauding this free market entrepreneurship.

Just following Tebbit's advice.

Get on your bike.

Pedal fast...and follow an ambulance.

I actually expected a better reply from you on this Rindi

Yes it's bad, but what else can Post University students do?

It's not as if they are qualified in something, is it?

By better, you mean one in which I agreed with you?

I'm happy with my post, thank you.

It sums up the situation quite well I think.

That might make a modicum of sense, if I'd posted I thought it was a good thing.

What I said was that this is an example of Thatcherism, and what happens in a free market economy.

More likely to come back and bite the arse of those who voted for a party, whose policy decisions made this economic situation come about.

From the article...

'The introduction of no-win no-fee legislation in 1995 and the reduction in legal aid allowed for personal injury claims has led to the growth of these companies.'

From the comments section...

'I had occasion to be in casualty quite recently with a relative and on the back of the fracture clinic appointment card was an advert 'have you been injured - not your fault' blah blah. so hospitals are generating revenue from them too.'

Smacks of hypocrisy.

I wonder if any Insurance salesmen have thought about trying to sell life insurance to those who've just had a near miss car accident...

It's not a "near miss" it's a "near hit" ... think about it

It seems insurance companies have got used to the idea, somebody who had a non fault accident recently was taken to hospital because she was expecting, even though it was a minor rear end shunt and she felt ok, her insurance company have filed an injury claim right away because she attended hospital, even if she doesnt suffer or need to return to hospital it seems she will get a couple of thousand! Ridiculous!!

Then people wonder why insurance premiums are always going up
