Accident, accident, accident. It can happen anywhere, anytime to anyone. No matter how safe you think you are, there is always that risk for accident to occur. Just take a look at the article above, it is the Thai teen that make headlines few months back, when she fell down into the MRT track and lost her legs. Now she is still in the pursuit of suing SMRT to pay her compensation of $3.4 million.
In my opinion, she should not sued SMRT because she fell by her self. None of the SMRT staff pushed her down or the MRT platform suddenly broken which make her fell. I understand she needs money for her future medical and living expenses. But this is not the way, to blame other party for compensation. I have been riding MRT for many years, even without the barriers, I don't see people falling down. So she can't blame SMRT for not having the barriers either. There are enough signs and warnings to be cautious and be safe in the MRT station.
What irritate me the most is that her father is an insurance agent. Why didn't he insured all his family, including her? He should know better that accident can happen to anyone. He is not being responsible. He should take charge in insuring his family to make sure that if something unfortunate happens, they don't have to worry about future expenses.
Therefore, my advise to you, be responsible for your self and your family. Make sure that you are adequately covered. A personal accident plan is one of the cheapest plan available. Get it when you don't need it.
Cheers! Have a great day.
