Scams, Claims and Compensation Games

Scams, Claims and Compensation Games

Watch this episode now on 4oD Scams, Claims and Compensation Games

Since 'No Win, No Fee' lawyers hit the high street, Britain has been swamped with adverts encouraging us to put in a claim, and talk of a growing compensation culture has hit the headlines again and again.

Have we really been convinced that where there's blame there's a claim?

Cutting Edge delves into the multi-billion-Pound world of Britain's personal injury industry to find out if Britain is developing an American-style mania for suing, or if 'No Win, No Fee' lawyers are finally giving the little man a chance to fight back.

Meeting the lawyers and local authorities working on opposing sides, and following real-life cases as they unfold, the programme looks beyond the media headlines about personal injury claims to reveal who are the real winners and losers in Britain's compensation culture.
