Why do the families of murder of victims get far less (about 7-12,000 pounds?) in Britain than people who?

Question

claim to have suffered 'psychological trauma' due to workplace bullying? Workplace bullying awards take in to account future loss of earnings but they do not take in to account: 1) that the person may get another high earning job 2) that earnings are for WORK done- not for what you might have done had you continued to work there.it is always people in their 30s and above who sue. People younger than that tend to say 'ce sera sera'- imagine if everyone who was bullied at school sued the school. Yet that's what some poeple earn MASSIVE payments (often in 10s of thousands , sometimes even in the millions) for at work. Who is really going to suffer lasting psychological effect? The older adult who should be able to put things in perspective or the child whose personality is still forming?

Answer 1

No idea but a wild guess is that it is because the state pays the families of murder victims. The public sector is a non-profit operation whereas the corporate sector purpose is to make money.

Answer 2

Good Question.
