is it all injury the law protects?

[maxosaxo]

[AlwaysConfused]

I am struggling to understand what you need from this question, but as I read it, the answer would be no. If I was to injure myself at work because I used a pump truck as a skateboard and smacked head on with a forklift whilst not wearing a hi-vis vest (which is policy in our place) I would not have a leg to stand on, so to speak. Not only has training taken place, I have signed to say that I have received adequate training. Just uiing this as an example. Got to go, off to play dodgems on the forklifts

I agree to an extent, Jenna. Sum ppl can change their writing style to suit the situation, and I think max is laying it on a bit thick here now to make a point

[maxosaxo]

alright everybody.you want me type properly i would.forgot i wasn't chatting with my peeps.@barmaid just got the process of filing complaint and proving your case for you to get any remedy in court.@jenna i'm not in the uk i am in nigeria

[boxtops]

I text on my phone, I wouldn't use it on here.

[factor-fiction]

To give an example, if I drop my plate on my toe I have no remedy in court

[Barmaid]

Well Maxo says he can spell, but chooses to shorten things. He needs to know that if he has any aspirations in the law, being able to communicate quickly and easily to his tribunal/audience is paramount.

[Barmaid]

@barmaid just got the process of filing complaint and proving your case for you to get any remedy in court

OK, but I am not sure what you mean. In order for your claim not to be struck out, there needs to be a cause of action.

Think about the question you have been asked, and think about what YOUR thoughts on it. Write them here and let's see where we go.

[dotty.]

you talk to peeps? eh?

[maxosaxo]

barmaid what you might probably not understand is that i switch over effortlessly whenever i want to use proper english.but can you pls forget about me using short forms before and answer my question??and am studying for my law degree.1st year, 1st semester, 2nd week.so i have to adapt i know

[Eve]

I did wonder if you weren't from the UK. This is a UK site so the vast majority of us and, I'd say, most of us with a fair amount of legal knowledge or training are in the UK (as far as I know) so this site may not be of much help for you as to Nigerian Law.

I have no idea about the Nigerian legal system I'm afraid.

[Barmaid]

Maxo - read my last answer.

[maxosaxo]

@barmaid since a complaint has to be filed and there needs to be proof that the particular incident you are taking to court must have actually taken place that is after it has been determined that so so and so person actually did this against you.because not every grievance or something you think is wrong is eligible for remedy.imagine you arguing with someone and you are vexed with his point of view you have no case in that kind of situation even though you are grieved

[Eve]

Are you doing your degree in Nigeria or elsewhere?

[Krausse]

Do you a owe a duty of care ? Did you breach that duty and did damage result ? (Negligence?) That is tort. Injury is all about lawyers who will do you a "no win, no fee deal" because you tripped over your handbag on the way in to work BUT should there have been a sign ? 'Take care, if wearing stilletoes, on this highly polished floor ! "

[maxosaxo]

@jenna i understand.but the question is not just for the Nigerian legal system its in everybody's legal system.torts(civil wrongs), complaints and the proceedings

[Barmaid]

Well in that case, you need to consider whether a duty is owed, to what standard that duty is owed, whether that duty has been breached, whether the breach has caused the loss and whether the loss was foreseeable.

[maxosaxo]

@krausse could you explain further.loving where you coming fromm

[sherrardk]

Maxo, a word to the wise. Some of the people on this thread are actually legal professionals so it might be a good idea not to antagonise them if you want assistance with your alleged coursework.

[maxosaxo]

@jenna yes i am in nigeria

[maxosaxo]

sherrardk i haven't and would never want to antagonize anybody here
