What happened to the stiff upper lip that we Brits are meant to be famous for? In contrast to the Americans, who seem to want to find fault with somebody else for everything, in Britain we were once noted for putting up with a great deal and never trying to file compensation claims right, left and centre. This might be a popular conception but it does not seem to be backed up by the statistics, at the very least if were to trust a study that was commissioned by an online legal research company. This company looked at key cities across the nation to assess the amount of work compensation claims as well as other legal cases and came across some eye-opening results.

It was declared that Cambridge was on top of this list of cities in England in relation to the tendency to file claims and more than one of every 4 residents of the city had been involved in a claim of some type. These folks were closely followed by residents of the Welsh university town of Aberystwyth, but at the other end of the scale people in Gloucester were seen as being probably the most passive with just one of 10 ever suffering from sufficiently elevated blood pressure to require compensation of any kind.

All tongue-in-cheek analysis to one side, if youre ever in an accident or incident of some sort which caused injuries, loss of ability to work as well as other damages you need to be able to seek compensation, stiff upper lip or not. This is the reason we have such an essential insurance industry to help us get through life with some reassurance, and should never hesitate to pursue our rights whenever we have been affected and our capacity to make a living or else appreciate life has been in one way or another affected.

Therefore, whilst the statistics don’t imply that Gloucester is really a mysteriously safer spot to live than Cambridge, residents of any town or city across the nation should always know that they have access to legal recourse if they want it.
