Just that really, they are lower than the low scummers.
My DH runs his own business. Someone ran into the back of one of his employee's stationary van, which shunted forward and hit the guy in front of him. Front of car behind damaged, not much damage to rear or front of employee's van (sturdy make), no damage to back of van in front. Van guy got out and yelled abuse, was very threatening and generally an arsehole to employee. Now van in front has made a £10k whiplash claim against us! So now DH, at one of his busy periods, has to go through mounds of paperwork for this bullshit claim. I don't even know how the employee (and therefore DH's business) can be considered at fault. Hopefully it'll all come out in the wash but i'm pissed this guy could get some money from DHs insurance to settle the claim, which will mean our premiums go up.
I'm sure someone will tell me he could have gotten whiplash from the impact, and yet our employee in the middle come away unscathed, but the cynic in me tells me he is a lying chancing bastard.
