What isn't mentioned is that the boy was 14 years old. What the hell was a 14 year old doing riding a 125cc motorbike anywhere?, let alone a private car park while being watched by his parents. Open and shut case in my opinion - he was riding illegally on a bike too big for him and was riding it recklessly.
Oh but the chain was difficult to see, ah, then he's clearly blameless, and his parents shouldn't be strung up for allowing their boy to endanger himself and others in a public place.
It makes me sick. Then I see illiterate teenage mothers on the telly harping on about how it's a 'des-grays' that they don't get free hand outs, just because they can't keep their pikey legs closed for more than five minutes.
Also in the paper earlier this week - woman sues a funeral directors for suffering 'trauma' from dealing with dead bodies for 20 years. I'll run that by you again - twenty (20) years. Wouldn't you think that after say, ooooooh, 6 months, you might think "hmmmm, don't think this is for me" ... ? Nope, she obviously thought "This is horrible, I just don't think I can carry on. I'll carry on for another 19 years or so though, just to make sure."
Such claims should be a crime. A punishable, fine-able crime. Mister and Missus Tax Payer happily pay into the system, completely oblivious to the fact that (and this is also 100% true), a man who had a sex change has sued the health service because he had faulty advice. He claims that doctors should have talked him out of it.
That's fair enough though isn't it? The poor fella/woman/parasite, bless ...
Ah, the sweet sensation of boiling blood ...

I'd love to find out I had a really weak back, which could very easily get hurt if I do any heavy lifting. I'd be straight down that place, ask to help carry stuff in, break myself, and say they didn't give me any safety training.
Perfect.
Perfect.
These people should be sent to north korea for a year.
"Boss, I hurt my back, I'm taking you to court!"
"Ok then, just follow my associate over to that corner where your colleagues are knelt facing the wall."

I don't think he even complains about the weight ... he says they weren't given proper safety training beforehand.
More of an idiot, methinks.

I love that advert "I was given the wrong ladder!" ... but he still goes up it without saying anything.
Could someone explain this as well - that other advert "I was in a car with my mate ... as we were turning, a lorry hit us!" - who's he suing for that? Because it was really his mate's fault for turning into a road when there was a bloody great truck coming the other way.

I like the lorry driver who broke his hip/leg because he was too cheap to buy his own £10 stepladder out of the classifieds and the supermarket woman who got compensation having slipped picking up some wet bottles she was too stupid to get a cloth and dry first.
Brilliant stuff.
Brilliant stuff.
No, I think it translates as "I f**ked up, who can I get some money out of" these days.
Apparently "accident" doesn't mean the same thing anymore.

Probably too polite to mention that his head was still in it... :-)
I agree totally with Borat.
Prime example is that here in Northampton last winter, we had a light covering of snow, and several of the local schools were closed in case Little Johnny/Jenny slipped over and the parents sued the school.
Now I don't know about the rest of you, but I fell over many times at school, and the last thing on the minds of my parents was suing the school. All I got was "maybe you'll be more careful next time".
I remember playing football in a wet playground once. As I went to kick the ball, my standing foot slipped on a wet leaf, I went over backwards and smacked my head on the oh-so-hard cold, wet tarmac. I got nothing apart from a mild concussion and a very strong feeling that I wanted to throw up.
Can you imagine if that happened these days? The parents (of today's kids, not mine) would be straight up the school, "We're suing you for £5 million - the playground should have been free of water and leaves, and you should have a nice soft cotton-wool backed rubber playing surface. This school is a disgrace!"

Right, you know where this leads don't you - with an entire planet wrapped up in bubble wrap, all sharp objects of any kind banned and anything that could possibly cause injury.
Face it - some things in this world are dangerous. You have to be wary of these and do what you can to ensure you do not come to harm. A football stadium car park is NOT a designated place for a 14 year old boy to ride a motorbike at high speeds.
If the chain was on a motocross track or a racetrack, then fair enough, somebody was at fault. But this is a car park - the only things on it should be cars or motorbikes travelling at very slow speeds, and pedestrians. The way I see it, the only person at fault was the person who shouldn't have been there in the first place.
