SECTION F — LEGAL REPORT brunt of the blow to the elbow and shoulder whilst trying to protect themselves. A civil claim was pursued against the member’s employer for failure to have a suitable system in place to protect firefighters when faced with such situations. There was evidence that there had been assaults on firefighters in the same area and it was likely that the fire had been started as a trap. However, the employer denied liability, even though after the incident new procedures were put in place which stipulated that two appliances should attend if called to the same area at night. The case hinged on whether there had been negligence in allowing the crew out of the appliance, but the judge said there had not been and so the claim failed. The CICA, who do not require fault to be proven in criminal injury cases, later made the award based on the member’s injuries and his loss of earnings. Family member claims Crushed by car The wife of an FBU member, who suffered multiple fractures when she was crushed against a wall by a car which mounted the pavement, has received £30,000 compensation. She was injured in south west London and was in hospital for several days afterwards. She continues to suffer from post-traumatic stress as well as from the physical effects of her injuries. Cases such as this show the value of the union’s legal service, with union lawyers prepared to take on cases that claim firms and no-win no-fee solicitors will not. Whiplash victim benefits from husband’s FBU membership A woman who was injured when a careless driver smashed into her car has received a settlement worth £6,353 thanks to her husband’s membership of the FBU. The woman, from Middlesbrough, was driving on a dual carriageway in rush hour traffic on her way to work. As the traffic in front of her slowed down, she braked and the person driving behind her crashed into the rear of her car. She suffered a whiplash injury to her neck, an injury that significantly affected the quality of her life. After the accident the pins and needles down her arm gradually worsened to the point that she required physiotherapy and time off work. She continues to suffer with intermittent neck pain and is unable to do heavy jobs. 100 FBU Annual <strong>Report</strong> 2011
