As we approach Valentines Day on the 14th of this month, all our minds and hearts turn to love and romance.  But as the saying goes….love hurts! The following stories from the world of personal injury and accident solicitors go some way to prove that the old proverb is true. First up on our list of amorous accidents is the story of the Spanish actress who won a compensation claim after falling down steps in Jeremy Irons’ hotel suite. She described going to the suite because she “wanted to spend the night with Jeremy Irons,” but sadly only ended up with a broken pelvis and who knows maybe a broken heart too. Married man Jeremy Irons refutes any claim that he has ever cheated on his wife.

When newlywed couple Margaret and Russell Moore agreed to stay by each other “in sickness and in health,” they did not expect the sickness bit to come up – pardon the pun – so soon. The couple spent their honeymoon on a cruise around the Canary Islands, even postponing their reception to catch the liner immediately after the ceremony. Just two days into the voyage though, Russell was one of many people on board struck down by a serious sickness bug. It left him too weak to walk and ruined  all their honeymoon plans. The couples’ package holiday claims were successful on their return.

For one couple in Dundee, it wasn’t so much love that left a bad taste in the mouth as the wedding reception drinks! Bride Sheonagh Taylor wanted to spoil and thank the guests at her wedding reception by treating them to a glass of expensive champagne on arrival. She was left devastated however when they were instead served a glass of Lambrini each. The sparkling and low alcohol ‘wine style’ drink Lambrini can retail for as little as £1.35 per bottle, hardly the best way to give an air of wealth and class on your big day. The father of the bride later took the wedding venue to court for compensation and won.

As these tales of romantic woe show, love can often be a painful experience. Learn from these stories and hopefully you and your soulmate will enjoy the rest of your life together in peace and happiness. And if the course of true love doesn’t run smooth? Well in cases like the above, contact a personal injury and accident solicitors who can help you receive the compensation you are entitled too. [removed][removed]
