Compensation.

[phil]

I was just wondering what other peoples thoughts were on staff members who have had an accident at work and make a claim for compensation. A relative of mine recently had a bad fall and shattered his leg and after numerous operations is still have great difficulties. He will not claim as he has been working with the same company for twenty five years and wishes to return to work asap .He feels it would not make for a good working atmosphere .

What are other peoples views on this issue?

I think if it is a genuine case where the person who had the accident cannot return to work , or has to reduce their working time and can not work as they previously could, that they should claim.

Anyone else?
