cardinalblue Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Let me get this straight - cost of a power pole is 70k but the compensation for a loss of life (recent bus accident) is 30k a person.... was it teak wood? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lungstib Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Looking at the photo I think its safe to assume the girl didn't fasten a seat belt. The damage is not that extensive. Does that make her at fault or the driver, or both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, you haven't got it straight by any means, the compensation for a loss of life is not B30k per person, that was the level of insurance offered in one particular case by one specific insurance company based on one particular insurance policy.

RichardColeman Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Considering the pole only seems to be held together by duct tape he may have done the residents a favour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
