WTF :o

" case has not yet been settled and he believes the police officer is prepared to take it to court."
I would suggest there is more to this case than meets the eye. If he is being sued as an individual I would think there is some complicity in the case. Otherwise it would be the insurance company he was taking to court.
Is it something like he failed to have the car secured after the house break in and keys stolen ?
Just my useless ramblings :)

Do you know? as each year passed the world got a little crazier....accepted ::))But now..as each DAY goes by I think some times that I've completely lost my marbles and lost touch with reality and that the madness is inside my head and not in the real world,but sadly after checking myself from the neck up it's definately not me, but the rest of humankind,present company excepted..of course ::) :o

i have began to wonder if it is me...but it is not...when you sign up to become a plod you must realise at some point parts of the job are dangerous and therefore at some point you may get hurt.... :o

he should be suing the bloody criminals who stole the car,they are the 1's he was chasing,wtf is going on this stupid country

Keeping on the theme of ''madness'',at the back of where I live is a small kids play area which has just had all the crappy equipment taken out and upgraded...good so far :y Now here comes the mad bit, that being that they are now having to tear down all the fencing to put an extra gate in because of..........bullying f*** me!!! this park is for little kids under parential supervision, so who will be doing the bullying?? another load of b/s**t from the European limp wristers no doubt ::) I'm rapidly giving up the will to live ::)

So how long before the Families of the Thieves start suing you because of injuries caused through steeling your Car.

They already do :'(
I wonder if all the claimants work on the same shift, from the same base :-\ not that I'm in the least bit cynical ::)
And as for the chap complaining about losing his NCB; his house got broken into, and his car stolen, so presumably he has claimed for both ::)
-
I would let them take me to court and hope the wig was not as insane as the idiot plod.

If it is as reported,the officers are a disgrace to the uniform they wear.Particularily given the proud and brave heritage of the police in Northern Ireland.
My guess would be that the union police federation are behind it.

Some hopes there mate based on some of their recent actions. Judges = (http://www.dbug.co.uk/smile/winker.gif) ::)

Unbelievable !! :o ??? >:(

Let's throw a different slant on this... The victim who is making a big deal could pass this straight to his insurer. The officer has been injured as a result of an incident with the victim's car... If he'd run into the back of the police car would you be up in arms that the officer was making a claim for injury? ::) ::)
That said... It is shocking and if he wants to claim it should be against his Employer's Liability insurer (who may in turn go after the car owner/insurer anyway ::)) not the owner of the car directly. Yet another sign of how litigious we are becoming >:(

yes that is true it might well be the victims car...BUT he was not driving so i fail to see how the victims insurance company would even entertain it..

Because it is a consequence of the theft ;) That's like saying that if it is stolen and driven through someone's house the insurance company can wipe their hands of it ;)
I know that it was common practice to charge any damage caused by a stolen car to the keeper/his insurance ;) Both from a professional point of view (it's amazing what people tell recovery drivers :o :o) and a personal point of view having dealt with 2 stolen vehicles in the past (both the previous Mrs LD's I might add :-X)

By the way... I'm not saying I agree with the PC's actions, just showing the other side of the argument ;) As I said before, he should be dealing with his employer's insurer who will, in turn, deal with the car owner's insurers ;) Unless, of course, the car was uninsured (possibly completely legally, i.e. SORNed) in which case it would go back to the owner :-\ :-\ He could, of course, pass it on to his contents insurance provider if the keys were stolen from the house, but I highly doubt there is enough cover there for the car, let alone a compensation claim

i am guessing then legal protection (that is sold along side insurance) is a very good idea

I bet you'd find a clause... There are plenty there for amity paperwork!
