Quote: Wadski "You'd be happy to lose your wage for a month or so because you couldn't because you had your face caved in by a professional rugby player?
Of course not. You'd want compensating for your loss of earnings.
There is the Criminal Injuries Compensation Board (Government body) to assist these people with their expenses through no fault of their own.'"
I know all about compensation claims, worked for over 10 years for a Solicitor doing personal injury claims.
I also know it will take 12 months or more through the CICA to get even close to receiving any money. I also agreed that if they have had losses they should be compensated but why not just leave your comments at "hope they are recovered" etc.
My point was that the first thing folks think of these days is being compensated for money. We all know that its a big thing nowadays to sue for compensation but we dont know all the circumstances, probably never will as its none of our business, and I think the original poster was simply advising us all that Fatz is now up and about and well again.
Sorry if my comments were misconstrued. No offence was intended to anyone.
