WTF

[mantahatch]

" 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

[the alarming man]

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....

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   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.

[albitz]

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 =

Unbelievable !!

[Lazydocker]

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
