A woman’s £650,000 claim for injuries allegedly suffered during a car crash has been thrown out of court in Ireland after she was pictured winning a Christmas tree-throwing competition.
*boggle*
Kamila Grabska (Ed: Surely not..?), 36, sued an insurance company and said injuries to her back and neck meant she was unable to work for more than five years or play with her children. She claimed she was left with the “disabling” condition after a car she was travelling in was hit from behind in an accident in 2017.
We really are being taken for mugs in this country, aren't we>
Who needs to go to a comedy club when the courts offer much better entertainment?
ReplyDeleteGrabska, a good old Irish name that.
ReplyDeleteNote that it is 'only' because it was an insurance claim, and the private company wanted their money back, this ever got to court. If she'd confined herself to claiming benefits she'd have been let off (as a traumatised woman , the no. 1 excuse when any are found out doing anything wrong. Well, after they blame the nearest available male) with a caution (and a decade to pay it back).

ReplyDeleteI guess I'll find out next month!

Sadly, you're probably right.
