Me on my way to make 80k
“Entrepreneur”
We’re just rewarding stupidity at this point
Jesus christ
Sorry I can’t read the link, I’m off to run into a bus shelter
Seems wild that a government board is involved with such high level of payout. Seems obvious now why our payouts are generally much higher than in other countries.
It’s unfortunate but it was an accident caused by the girl herself running in the rain.
I’m a fucking dope most days. Where is my 100k?
Clearly her father is taking the piss and taking advantage of a very stupid system we have. Incredible that they paid out what was a stupid incident by a girl who should have been looking as to where she was running
I’d probably do it right now for €2000
I can’t even be arsed reading it.
Could someone just tell me how it’s the bus shelters fault?
Another win for the solicitors
I didn’t open the link, but if glass is clear and doesn’t have stickers on it or a design that makes it obvious there’s glass there I’m not surprised they got compensated. I am surprised at the amount of comp however
This is just completely mental.
How are we selecting judges? Is it collect twelve packets of crisp wrappers or something?
People are always so quick to assume they’re chancers when they don’t know the details, always siding with the company.
Maybe there was no stickers or lighting? The management company have a duty of care, fines like this need to be punitive enough to prevent it happening again.
I doubt the girl wanted to run into it and end up in hospital.
The judge should pay it out of her own wages then she might get a bit of cop on.
The issue in Ireland is not necessarily the size of awards but the broad duty of care that we have.
I’m all for someone who is injured through no fault of their own getting compensation but I do have a problem with Tram Surfers and people walking onto stuff or tripping on small holes in the ground getting anything at all.
bet now: copycats when?
That better be appealed and quashed ASAP
With this precedence, people will find ways how to make easy money by suing the government and corporations.
She can have the money but a picture of her should be printed on the glass permanently saying a dope ran into this.
Wouldn’t it be funny if peope gets “accidentally” hurt by the Leinster House bike shed and eventually government decides to remove it to “save” money.
That would be astoundingly sad and hilarious.
If you’ll excuse me I’m off for a brisk walk toward my local bus shelter..
The injuries Board assessed the reward judge just approved it the company just didn’t dispute it 🤷🏼♀️
Cue a wave of reports of gobshites running into bus shelters..
Holy moly, €86k. That’s a lot of lettuce for a pedestrian speed collision.
“If visibility was that bad then she shouldn’t have been running? The defence rests your honour………”
Stupidity is rewarded and initiative is taxed, welcome to Ireland
What a country !
Seems fair- why would they put it there ?
Surely was walking with her phone in her hand or something wtf
Congrats you fukin dope !!!
The insurance industry love these articles because it allows them to increase prices to get record profits while blaming normal people for those increases (when it’s actually just rampant profiteering).
I always think about how, years ago, everyone in school was talking about ‘that stupid woman who sued McDonald’s because the coffee was hot’ as proof that people are greedy and stupid, when the reality was that it was an 79 year old woman severely scalded with third degree burns all over her body, who was hospitalized for eight days while undergoing skin grafting, followed by two years of medical treatment ([Liebeck v. McDonald’s Restaurants](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liebeck_v._McDonald%27s_Restaurants)).
Ultimately, many of these stories end up being valid when you look at the details, but the article headline is written just to get clicks.
I think I missed couple of chances here.
My mom:
* fell in square shopping center , hurt her hand (stairs were somehow damaged, I am not sure).
* fell in front of Lidl , hurt her wrist (pavement was damaged/irregular).
My son:
* Cut his hand in the playground in our estate. (Slide was damaged, with a sharp edge).
When was the last time anyone saw a bus shelter that was clean enough not to be able to see the glass. FFS!
