    I am on here to ask you for your help. My fiance has started a petition to claim compensation for his injuries that happened nearly 7 years ago. At the time he was an ambulanceman and he was on a call when the accident happened. He was the victim of an horrendous attack when some thugs threw a 10lb lump of concrete from a moving vehicle and it hit the windscreen of his ambulance, the concrete made a direct hit on Nick’s face resulting in him losing an eye, having 17 plates put into his face and he still has trouble with his memory, his balance and his concentration. He also has a bad scar on his face so he will always have a reminder of what happened. The petition is going to be took to Downing Street on the 25 February, and we are hoping to get as much support as possible. We are hoping that people on here will help with this worthwhile cause, it al started on Boxing Day when we read that the Yorkshire Ripper had been awarded £196,000 after being attacked in prison. Where is the justice in that, when Nick hasn’t even been awarded a penny. Peter Sutcliffe is a serial killer, and Nick worked on the ambulances, a job that he can never go back to now because of the attack. Where is the justice in that? If people want to download a petition to sign, the web address is http://www.supportnickhorobin.co.uk Here is a picture of him so you can see how badly he was injured

    Its just another example of the topsy turvy world we live in.

    Peter Sutcliffe was awarded his damages after an incident in 1997. How comes this came up on boxing day? (Im nosy) :wink:

    Its a major difference in compo. Both people lose an eye yet one gets 40k and the other gets £196 k.

    The criminal compensation board really have no idea about using precendents do they :roll:

    The news of the world got it wrong. he was OFFERED £40,000, but considerng what e has been through it was an insulting amount to be offered, so naturally he turned it down. This is why we are starting this campaign. the petition can be downloaded at http://www.supportnickhorobin.co.uk

    I see, so he never accepted the offer.

    Will sign up. Good luck. :)

    to get nick the compensation he deserves, we need as many signatures as possible. would any of you be willing to download petitions and sign them. you can download them at http://www.supportnickhorobin.co.uk The petitions can then be sent to the address at the bottom of the petition so we can go there and collect them all to take to Downing Street on the 25 February. thanks
