Heres an idea.
LOOK WHERE YOUR GOING.
Its scum who make claims like this who put everyones insurances up. The claim money has to come from somewhere, and it comes from a big pot where everyones insurance has to contribute. The more claims put in without insurance, the more everyone pays to drive/ride.....
Pay more attention. Yeah you didn't "feeeel" pissed, but 4 shandys is still alchohol and it will still effect your body.
tbh, im suprised you had the guts and the mentality to even post this......

This is what's wrong with the world these days. Every fuckers claiming off one another, even when they've had a drunken stumble Then complain when premiums go up. I hope you get £0.

You should not be paid to be a witness shelly.
In fact I think thats illegal.
I am all for compensation if someone is massively at fault, but for little things like that no.
And Lee your right about whiplash my best mate has it, went from being super fit to putting on loads of weight and need enough housebound some weeks and he has had it for about 5 years.
Proper fucked his life up.

Your not paid per se but they often cover your expenses - normally about £20 for the day

Thanks, im nearly 27, and the sheer fact you are calling everyone children when it is in fact you who are being the immature sponging scum really denotes the kind of person you are.
My friends tackled me whilst playing football. I hurt my ankle, I couldn't walk for about 2 n half weeks, Im still sure I fractured it, should I sue him for it??????
F-ing sponger.

Can you expand on that?
Your friend went go karting (so presuming on a track, with crash helmet). Safty briefing and such.
Your friend crashes, hurts her/himself.
Sues the company.
Shit the bed, what would happen if any proper motorsport racing people started sueing the circuit.
(might have the completly wrong end of the stick here though).
Is the go-kart company still running (probably their insurance covered it).

Depends if the Kart is in correct working condition I guess, lots of factors when they could be at fault but I agree motorsport its normally your own fault.

Her go-kart brakes failed and desipte her shouting to the supervisors she had to crash into the back of another kart to stop. She got whiplash and deep cuts into her shins from the force of the crash.
The karts were on a track but no helmets provided.
The karting place said that they had just checked the kart and it had passed the safety check, but didn't have any record of it.
Jodi, I meant expenses. I had to travel to a court which was over 40+ miles away.

Ahh that is a whole different storey then, although common sense would suggest simply coming off the throttle (she had time to shout) and pulling into the pits rather than carrying on.
No helmets is a bad non no though. Karting can be somewhat painfull
Kart place does sound a little dodgy, and i can understand the "sudden safty check" that said it was fine.
Equipment failure, mind you, the poster of this post could also say that. Equipment being eyes and brain
Sorry, im being childish I guess, or does stuff like this just bake my beef

Contact your council
If you can prove you've damaged yourself, and the place where the pot hole is belongs to the council then you claim through them.

I'm only saying
It's hard to prove anyway
In work we've had something like 25 claims last year - 1 won

It was actually a kids track too but adults were allowed on, they were just slower than the adult ones, can't imagine what would have happened if she had been a child.
They swung this barrier thing infront of her so she had no choice but to pull into the pits, with no brakes she had to slam into the back of a stationary kart.
And they had no records of the safety checks they did, but managed to produce some form they were supposed to fill in.
The place has since shut down now.

She got whiplash going in the pit lane in kids carts , sounds like she wanted a claim to me.

It'll be the sudden impact and the body weight force being thrown forwards. Body will go forward, but the neck (don't forget heads weigh between 5-10kg!!) will snap forwards. Its that initial sharp movement that gives wiplash.
Although for me personnally, that really isn't work claiming for, its just a small accident. Deal with it, get in another kart, carry on.....

To be fair her shins were a mess too though. I think Ian was there with us actually, was a few years ago though.

wish i hadnt posted lol!
im actually not gonna claim due to te fact that its only sprained and feels a lot better now, i too pay council tax ,there aint just u, i aint makin excuses, i pay insurance for everything too!
let me just make my point.
i come out of a pub and bang infront off the eit door is a curb leading onto a car park not road. straight off the curb is a pot hole which i stepped in, sorry i dont watch the floor when im walking but who does? i go over on my ankle and here a crack hich kinda freaks m out considering at work the have just announced no sick pay, fair enough as im never off sick anyway its just the people that tae the piss tat have got it like this!
key points
pub car park
pot hole bang outside an exit door
hearing an ankle crack
work announcing no sick pay
house to pay for
council tax over 1k too(vxr)
so u can see whats goin through my mind, broken ankle, no sick pay cant pay for house
shit streak!!!!!!!!!!
turns out all is fine, im not claiming my ankle is sore but ok
rant over, post over, admin please delete!!!
