    even the OP ended up in a wheelchair having broken his neck , he would not succeed in taking the uncles house

    people dont loose their homes in PR claim cases in this country no matter who reckless they were and how badly injured the other party was

    OK, so I hope the uncle has to sell a kidney to come up with the minimum 300k this loving nephew is due for enduring such agony.
    No doubt his promising career as a gymnast has been cut short

    The whole insurance claim is a farce, whether slipping on a chip, falling in a pot hole or getting hit by a car travelling 4mph

    Takes me back, when I was in school it rained and someone unfortunately slipped in the car park.

    Post incident, someone on the student council made a serious suggestion to put a wet floor sign in the car park.

    not so , if someone you believe is negligent decides to act beligerently when it comes to a public liability insurance , its not easy at all getting money off them and they are not even obliged to be insured in the first place

    different story with motor insurance claims where bar unless you are a tinker , the law will force you to step up and be accountable for someones injury

    At the risk of associating myself with such a comment, given our courts propensity to hand out cash for dodgy claims, its a pretty safe to say, personal injuries and compo culture is a farce, whether you've the comfort of insurance or not. Indeed there's a lot to be said for defendants being far more belligerent and counter suing, if the odds weren't stacked against them.
