"I'd need a bit more info before making any comment. If they signed a waiver then it sucks to be them, but if the site organisers were negligent then that's another matter. Its like the MacDonalds coffee woman who was vilified for so long for lodging a frivolous lawsuit, and it turned out that MacDonalds were being irresponsible dicks. If we don't know all the details,. we can't really comment." You can comment without the facts it's what fab forums are for  | |||

"Many years ago there was compensation claim upheld in the court where a contract scaffold tripped over a protruding scaffold pole he'd installed himself .... I seem to remember he broke his leg which resulted in a hospital stay ..... His grievance was that none of his work colleagues or anyone from the company where accident happened went to visit him during his recuperation.... He was awarded £50000.... Soxy truth or Soxy bluff ? "Please tell me it's a bluff, did he work at a supermarket but had a scaffold fetish ? | |||

"Waivers don't absolve the company of any duty under law. If they are found to be failing their duty and that caused the accident then they are within their rights to sue. " Surprised that She hasn't asked the solicitor to sue the manufacturer of the trainer she was wearing for not having enough grip If they've done something bad and the obstacle collapsed I agree but if it's just slipping then I hope she gets a huge legal bill | |||

"I don't buy the health and safety gone mad rubbish. It's a tabloid wank-excuse when they think they can have a pop at something they don't like, and half the time they've distorted the actual facts to fit in their rant about red tape and all that crap. " I do, not in this case as the facts aren't out but through a friend I get to here of genuine sums that get paid out for silly things | |||

Surely work colleagues have no obligation to visit someone in hospital ?"Back then the unions were bat-shit crazy .... They would fight against authority on the most trivial levels ... They were constantly trying to undermine managements right to manage,,,, I don't suppose for one minute the unions actually wanted to support the guy but they saw it as an oppertunity to get one on the establishment....  | |||

In 99% of cases there's a legitimate legal reason to pay out. | |||

"Waivers don't absolve the company of any duty under law. If they are found to be failing their duty and that caused the accident then they are within their rights to sue. " ^^ This If the company has been negligent, it is liable. It's as simple as that. But a slippery surface in an outdoor situation where mud and slippery surfaces are expected? It seems unlikely they've put anyone at a risk they didn't sign up for. It's different from, say, allowing an oil spill on a footpath to go uncleaned. Of course it's always worth trying to sue these days. Especially with so many solicitors offering 'no win, no fee.' Many businesses will settle out of court, rather than risk much higher damages being awarded. Health and safety going mad? It would have prevented Grenfell, wouldn't it? | |||
