Slipped On A Grape...

[Tute]

What's wrong with people looking where they are going these days?

"Floor was wet and there was no warning sign" - use your sodding eyes then!

If it makes you feel any better Marks and Spencer has insurance for this kind of thing.

For any body that uses the digg site, I posted this this morning. My first ever submission. Would be nice if others could see it.

hes just trying to milk it for all its worth hopefully the courts will see otherwise, if he wins that amount of money then we might as well fly the stars and stripes and start ambulance chasing

what a complete idiot. I hope he has to pay costs. I hate this claim culture. Things like this always come back to bite you on the behind

The grape said nothing, but did let out a little wine.

So am I the only person who when they fall etc, just looks around sheepishly to make sure no one has seen me then slink away slightly embarrassed, rather than calling a lawyer... then an ambulance?

Would have been even funnier if he'd slipped on one of his own grapes.

He lost and has been ordered to costs, that will teach him for trying to make a quick buck !!

Mr Martin-Sklan has to pay around £15,000 towards Marks and Spencer's costs and given 28 days to pay an interim sum of £7,500.

Sounds like a victory for common sense. While I strongly support the idea that companies should be responsible for negligently caused injuries and loss of earnings, there is nothing to demonstrate that this was such an incident.

 

[drunkenmaster]

Yes and no, in extreme cases maybe some helping money should be given but compensation is a bad word anyway, everyones idea of what is fair compensation is different.

But even if they had dropped a grape in the store, and 30 people saw him slip on it at the end of the day its a grape, you have to take responsibility for the fact that. Its you walking, its not that hard to check where you are going, you do it everywhere else. Infact i think basically all those cases are crap. A loose tile or something that moves under weight by like half a foot when you step on it, or a box falling off a shelf as you walk past and smacking you, those are different things entirely.

As with everything these days, anything bad that happens and people simply feel entitled to something to make them feel better, or flat out greed that someone else fell over somewhere and got money, so why the heck shouldn't I.

The gloyt should learn how to keen balance.

Also needs to gain a little perspective on the situation, he slipped like a muppet, probably self like a *** so he sues. Hope it gets thrown out to be honest.

Idiot.
