I play football regularly. Tons of the lads are always out with injuries. Some for really lengthy periods of time with injuries that come from minor challenges.

I'm often fouled in a similar fashion and yet i've never been injured for a lengthy period of time.

Despite this I do not assume that they are exaggerated/false. Nor do I assume they are "particularly susceptible". I just accept that we are different.

The lens you are looking through is precisely because you haven't experienced what they have. "I was only injured for six weeks so..."

You are blinkered because of your personal experience / lack of a truly comparable experience and that is why I felt the need to respond.

I understand you are entitled to your opinion but I think there is a fundamental problem with people not understanding that others are different.

Once again I accept that there are people who exaggerate or lie but I do not think it is anywhere near the level that insurers/the government or the mail would have us think.

In any event fraud is no longer the argument is it? The target is plainly legitimate, so called "low value" claims.
