fk me... 10k for being bitten by a dog?

I am in the wrong job

Well lets hope you get bitten many times walking across a Tesco car park minding your own business and that you have scares for life on your legs and you also need a skin graft.
Plus the time off work to attend hospital appointments.

And for your information the dog had previously bitten two other people before by being let off a lead in a public place without a muzzle. The dog was destroyed after this incident and not before time. The owners should have been to.

So keep your comments to yourself if you have nothing constructive to say and go back to school as your clearly not old enough for a job.

I will put my comments wherever I like, open forum if you hadn't noticed dude...

Big campaigner for actual loss myself, so does she earn 10k a week or something?

Really, what are you doing to overturn the current heads of claim ? Your suggestion is that we remove General Damages, yes ?

Are you really happy that if I crash into you, burning alive your entire family in front of your eyes, disfiguring you, causing you pain and suffering and life long sadness, you want *nothing* because you can go back to work the next day ?

Just need to check, because I wouldn't want to mistake you for someone who had wandered in from The Lounge without a clue

What she earns is irrelavant, it's an injury claim, now bugger off, I don't need your comments.

Why? How much do you charge dog owners to be bitten?

And if you don't, how much would you be willing to do it for? If the answer is more than £10k, or you wouldn't do it at all, the OP's partner has suffered actual loss.

Doesn't matter if she earnt 10k a week or not as if the scars are bad she may not feel comfortable wearing skirts or shorts that show her legs any more, or she may have issues with nerve damage etc. The compensation here should have an element of punishment for the company otherwise it israther pointless.

Actually there is no element of punishment.

Fault is apportioned to put the claimant in the position they would have been (or to compensate the actual loss) and not to punish the tortfeasor. (I love that word). However the compensation is going to be significant, because the claimant's loss was significant.

Absolutely

So insurance pays for the actual loss, and then pays out for any private treatment she needs, physical, psychological or otherwise.

How does a large wodge of cash given to someone fix anything? If you were seriously psychologically damaged after an event, would 5k in your back pocket make you any less psychologically damaged, or would you be as psychologically damaged but 5k richer?

And I don't need my insurance going up every year, so I will comment where I like. After all, I amongst everyone else will end up paying for it.

Sorry but your comments are bang out of order.
Why should she suffer the pain of the attack,the pain of operations and as a woman have scars for life on her legs which may effect her confidence etc.
She did not ask for this to happen to her.

With respect, that's what insurance is for..? If no-one was ever permitted to make a claim because it would result in a rise in premiums, why pay insurance in the first place?

So to clarify, you would rather have £10k and be bitten by a dog and scarred - than not be bitten and not be scarred?
