I am well pleased to see that Lord Young of Graffham has issued a report (as commissioned by David Cameron) that condemns ambulance chasing lawyers, and calls for curbs on the the aggressive advertising used by these lawyers.
Lord Young is of the view that members of the public are encouraged by unscrupulous lawyers to pursue frivolous personal injury and negligence cases, while "well-meaning" people are deterred from organising voluntary activities.
He notes that the industry has created a "particularly pernicious" climate of fear that puts off well-meaning members of the public from organising voluntary activities in case they are sued if an accident happens.
Lord Young said:
"People who seek to do good in our society should not fear litigation as a result of their actions."
Needless to say, the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers doesn't like Lord Young's conclusions.
This organ has released a statement claiming that changes to health and safety legislation will result in a culture of "carelessness and injury".

Some bloody lawyers, they have got things the wrong way round. If you know some shyster is going to get you a shedload of money, you will most certainly do daft things. Well the people suffering under our education? system will.

This is very long overdue, but well done, Lord Young! I have been approached by representatives of these ambulance chasers whilst walking through a shopping centre, minding my own business. My response to his enquiry, as to whether I had recently had an accident, was not the answer he was expecting to hear, or hoping too!

What happened to people looking what they are doing, and taking responsibility for their own actions?

How dare you sir! Are you trying to put Nanny out of business?
If approached by one of these 'chasers', I would assure them that any injury occurring in the next 30 seconds would NOT be due to 'carelessness'.
ReplyDeleteUncle John: A great response: I like it!
