accident at work or road traffic accident to name just a few.

Stiff Lower Back v. Stiff Upper Lip

LONDON, November 18 - Think personal injury and think No Win No Fee. Think No Win No
Fee and one's mind ventures to images of people falling from ladders or
slipping on a banana skin in an office lobby. A fundamental criticism of
claims management companies is that they engage in scare-mongering marketing
tactics to profit from a legitimate legal development, which was intended to
encourage Access to Justice. No Win No Fee companies are seen, in some
quarters, as pandering to an Americanised system of litigation - encouraging
an increasingly litigious society which contravenes quintessential British
values of suffering in silence and a stiff upper lip. Clearly this criticism
can't be ignored but it can be challenge.
