The Accident Claims industry makes 60billion every year and there is a good reason for this. So many different types of accidents lead to money being paid out, accidents on the road to accidents at work, from accidents on the pavement to accidents in the home. It can’t be an accident where you were at fault, it has to be the fault of someone else. Accident claims companies are all over the TV and Radio so the industry is well known throughout the country.
A lot of accidents are preventable and are as a result of negligence from somebody along the way, however, sometimes accidents ARE the fault of the person who has been injured. We don’t hear about these accidents very often, probably because they generally cause embarrassment to said injured person, and with good reason!
Wouldn’t you be embarrassed if you caused yourself an injury involving your pet fish? Well 89 people in the year 2000 were very embarrassed as this statistic was kept very quiet at the time. It is hard to imagine the turn of events that would have led to somebody getting injured due to their fish, but I bet it is funny for any onlookers.
There are 3million accidents in the home annually, which is a lot of preventable accidents! The sole job of the ‘Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents’ is as the name says, to try to make sure that people are more vigilant to stop accidents occurring. Of course they can’t stop people from having accidents involving their pet fish as that is completely in the realms of personal stupidity!
Of course, RoSPA alone won’t eradicate accidents completely! In fact, there’s probably nothing that will. But maybe if we were all a little more cautious at home and when out and about, those accident statistics might start creeping down!
