pm me pal i know a very good injury claims lawyer who will prob sort you out a lot more that the £200

And who in the process will ensure that everyone in the country pays higher insurance premiums....

£200 for a bit of lost sleep and pain should be more than enough, maybe ask for a new Iron on top?

Try again later, he's probably putting the Hoover around.

fuck knows what would happen if you went at the washing machine.

You now have a perfectly valid excuse for never again ironing clothes

To cut a long story short;

I was ironing (I know, you'll say my lady should have been doing it!) when sparks and a flame shot from the base of the cord where it enters the iron. I subsequently burnt the side of my left hand and after a visit to A&E had the injury cleaned and bandaged. After 4 follow-on visits to a nurse to have the injury cleaned and re-bandaged the hand has healed nicely.

Now I'll get to the point, I sent the iron away to the manufacturers for investigation and a few weeks later received a letter from their insurers stating that they would offer me £200 as a 'full and final settlement'.

My questions are:

1) Do you think the offer is sufficient, a few mates have advised me that I should never accept a first offer from an insurance company?

2) They haven't actually said they are accepting responsibilty so their offer could maybe construed as a goodwill gesture - if I asked for more money could they refuse and withdraw the first one?

Cheers in advance for any advice.

Take the money as I don't see the point of why they offered it

...beacuse their faulty product injured me maybe? It was only around 6months (I missed this point earlier, apologies!) so shouldn't be failing at that point.

£200 for a burnt wrist? I would be very happy with that, dont be greedy and just take the money.
