Policewoman Sues Man Who Called 999

This thread was posted a few days a go but it seems to have disappeared.

After seeing her, makes you wonder how she's even fit for duty.

Some of the stuff going on in the world is insane.

First a bint easily deceives the NHS to get free boobs, and now a police officer is suing because she felt a stupid after a trip?

These first world problems beggar belief.


This is utterly unfair on the person who summoned the police. If a more competent officer had been dispatched this wouldn't have happened.

Look at how fat she is! And her trailer trash pickup truck with complementary red-neck look-a-like husband. No wonder coppers have such a bad name these days if that's what they look like. I remember when there was a minimum height requirement to be a copper.
 
The picture of her and the Pajero looks like one of the fat family council estate type.

I know you're all thinking it.

It almost certainly will, it's worth remembering that bringing a case doesn't mean a successful outcome will result. That said I'm a bit surprised that this case is being funded by the Constables Central Committee - I'd have thought the general principle of volenti non fit injuria applies and that a kerb (which appears to be in reasonable repair from the pictures) is one of the lesser threats that the police would face.

No duty of care is not Volenti, that should be saved for getting in planes with a wasted pilot :p

But as a police officer she is, in the course of the job, essentially volunteering to put herself in potentially risky situations. Naturally there are limits to how far a police officer would be expected to risk themselves in the course of the job but walking round a petrol station forecourt is probably within normal limits when there is an emergency call to attend.

I must have glossed over the duty of care argument earlier. I'd be curious to see what the claim is properly rather than the second-hand information we've got. On the face of it I'm a bit dubious about the claim but there may well be more to it than has been presented.

Yes, but acceptance of risk is not acceptance of harm... unless it's a truly dire choice of action. You can get in a car with a drunk driver, knowing he is tanked, loudly proclaim it'll be fine, have an accident and still successfully sue him.

The claim won't have been spelt out yet but it'll be under the Occupier's Liability Act and the Workplace Health and Safety Regs. Definitely going to be some long term psysio arranged by claimant solicitors. Hell, let's throw in fibromyalgia just to teach them a lesson!

If they are injuries that will heal (in a reasonable amount of time) then what is the compensation for? :confused:

I work in Personal Injury & Clinical Negligence and on nearly all Pre Action Disclosures there is a figure that the claimant is expecting but it doesn't mean anything.
If the case is found in her favour then it will be worked out how much she is entitled to eg:
Did she lose any wages?
Was she able to drive or did she pay for taxi's?
Did she pay out of her own pocket for treatment?
Will she recover 100% or will she always limp?
and so on .......
She will have to be in pretty bad condition to get £50,000
