Meet the injured people hoping to make a fortune out of their misfortune

Every year thousands of people have their life altered by accidents. For some it’s a heartbreaking turn of events, leaving their lives shattered beyond repair. For others it’s as close to winning the lottery as they will ever get. In either case, the more pain and the more permanent the damage, the more money that is heading their way from a lawsuit. Misfortune, it appears, is the fastest way to a fortune.

Now, in this fascinating and timely series, we’re following the shocking real-life stories of people who’ve been injured in dramatic ways and who are now seeking justice by pursuing big money compensation claims with the help of personal injury lawyers. The cases covered range from getting knocked down by a speeding driver to tripping in the grocery store and cosmetic surgery that went wrong. Running the gamut of dog attacks, theme park accidents, workplace injuries, beauty disasters and problems caused by faulty products, we explore a wide spectrum of stories that reflect the explosive growth of compensation culture. Where There’s Blame, There’s A Claim tells these accounts through dramatic testimony, reconstruction and live scenes with the people at the heart of the tales: the individuals, their families, the accused, the lawyers and the medical professionals. Welcome to the complex and fascinating world of personal injury claims – and just remember if you ever get hurt: where’s there’s blame, there’s a claim!
