A man who dialled 999 fearing a burglary at his petrol station is being sued by the policewoman who answered the call because she fell on the premises.

Her lawyers say she was hurt and argue that he failed to keep her safe while she was investigating the possible break-in.

In Oz, it's the employer's duty to maintain a safe working environment, so for me it's workers comp.

From the story it appears to be the same there. She is just topping up with extra coin by going old mate for civil coin. Which you can do here too, its just not as popular because if you do that, then Workcover is entitled to recover their payments.

Her argument is that the garage owner should have organised a risk assessment before dialing the emergency number so that she could be made aware that the forecourt had a standard kerb between the roadway for cars and the pedestrian footpath. She did fall - but was not hurt enough to stop her from proceeding to carry out an investigation of the premises to try and solve the crime.

The reaction in the UK press has been universal ridicule of her - she was put up to it by the Police federation (The coppers union) who are funding the solicitors. Her Police Chief has condemned her and even worse for her, though she is yet to find out, is that I have got my wife to put one of her spells on her.........

Oh. Cool Alan.
If we send you a pic of Julia, could she put one on her, too? Please?

I don't know about where you are, but in WA the police are the only part of the population that doesn't get worker's comp.
Zero. Zilch.

In today’s news she has decided not to continue the claim.
