Compensation Culture to a new level

http://www.independent.ie/irish-news/courts/woman-who-banged-her-knee-against-table-leg-at-restaurant-awarded-20k-35579644.html When is there going to be something sensible done about this? €20k for knocking your knee off a dinner table.. Most clear case of claims harvesting by the solicitors. Sickening to read it.

Whats the point of getting out of bed and going to a days work when I can just fall down a staircase in some bar, slip on a chip,
hit my leg off the table, slip on a pavement, slip on a hiking trail, slip in some shop, drink some hot coffee
and spill it on myself, or maybe claim the coffee was too hot in the first place.

then just go get a doctors report, get a psych report, get a lawyer who then need to get more reports from engineers and architects and specialist medical reports.
Money money money.

and the worse thing of all..... is the people that defend it,

What's worse is reopening an old thread about someone banging their knee, wth a new post concerning someone loosing an eye, and saying they are both an example of compensation culture, while making any further contributions to this thread a confusing mess
