Some people are just looking for opportunities to get compensation.
No doubt there will be plenty of "traumatised" people coming out of the woodwork in the next few weeks seeking compensation over this.
Someone ran into the back of my car a few weeks ago, I could have jumped on the whiplash claim but didn't - even the insurance company were trying to get me to go down that avenue but when my g/f ran into the back of someone at very low speed a few years back, the woman was claiming whiplash as soon as she got out of the car - obviously wanting to go down the compensation road, forgetting that whiplash takes some time to come on - if at all at less than 5mph !!.
That's just the greedy world we live in I guess.
