At the risk of being simplistic it seems illogical to me that if I am innocently minding my own business and someone crashes their vehicle into the back of me, because they are texting or have been drinking or otherwise not paying attention, thus causing me harm, for however long, then I should not be entitled to bring a claim for reasonable damages and be entitled to expect the negligent person to pay the reasonable cost of me having legal advice and support to do so. Reforms that seek to prevent that simply do not seem to me to stand up, whether to the laws of natural justice or otherwise.
