Fell in tesco, no wet floor sign or mat, what should I do?

So the OP doesnt agree with the conpenation culture, yet wants compensation anyway?! They havnt even been to the doctors to see if they are concerned. You dont have a case at all. You are yet another person jumping on the compensation bandwagon, you make me sick. No wonder prices are going up (food prices), because supermarkets have such high pudlic liability insurance bills. This insurance (from compensation culture and ambulance chasers) is also the reason for many community evens having to be cancelled.

I do feel that some people on this site take any chance to bully someone.

My 75 year old father-in-law went to the doctors for his flu jab last week and slipped on a wet floor. He cut his hand quite badly, but being at the doctors they dressed it for him.

He was genuinely concerned that the floor was dangerous and someone less fit than him might slip and injure themselves badly, after all a doctor's surgery tends to have lots of elderly and unwell people visiting it. I said he should write to them officially and point out the dangerous nature of the floor. We did say he should sue for compensation, but it was only a joke.:D It is amazing though how many other people said that to him seriously straight away. Any injury and people think of compensation.

I hate it when I get the phone calls saying 'have you had an accident blah blah' and I have to say 'unfortunately no'.

If you genuinely want Tesco to take more care in the future then surely a word to the staff member who assisted you or their line manager would suffice?! Why do you need to be compensated?

AND, I would lay my life on the fact that all of you are hypocrits anyhow, just like the people who slag off benefits claimers but given the chance would do it themselves. (for the record I am not one of those people). Perhaps we could draw this to a close and you can all stop getting your knickers in a twist.

You're not bitter at all are you?! Just because the majority of posters don't agree with your blatant attempt at money grabbing, does not mean that we are hypocrites (note the correct spelling!).

As for the sentence I've highlighted, I have NO IDEA what you're on about (or how it's even relevant to this discussion!)

For the record I don't personally know anyone who would CHOOSE to claim benefits over earning their own money – I certainly wouldn't, and yet you have somehow branded me, along with all the others who don't agree with you, a hypocrite who would probably prefer to claim benefits if they could.

You don't socialise widely, do you? Understandable. I prefer not to mix with them, either. I can't afford to.

For those who don't know by now the so-called Compensation Culture in the UK is a myth.

The actual numbers of compensation claims has fallen year on year for the last 5 years even though insurers have increased premiums to such a high level.

Indeed, only 1 in 3 people who could make a compensation claim actually bother to do so.

The only people whose earnings have increased, even though the number of claims has decreased, are the lawyers.

The real criticism from posters on this website should be aimed towards the Association of British Insurers who have engaged in a particularly successful PR campaign (plainly judging by responses here) that has blamed the compensation culture for making premiums more expensive.
