Accident claims relating to work place injuries are relative common although this case is an extreme example.  A police officer who was shot during a training course has been awarded a substantial amount in compensation although the exact amount hasn’t been disclosed.  The accident happened at Thames Valley Police’s headquarters in Kidlington in 2007.  The officer suffered physical and psychological injury and hasn’t been able to return to work since.

Thames Valley Police admitted liability for the accident and has since improved its training procedure.
