In a clear liability case, with serious injuries, a plaintiff submitted fake tax returns and financial documents to support a claim for lost wages. This behavior was uncovered and resulted in the unraveling of the claim and a resolution of the claim for an amount far less than the medical specials.
The plaintiff was claiming injuries as a result of being rear ended while waiting at the end of an access ramp. The defendant hit the plaintiff’s car with sufficient force to total defendant’s car and push the plaintiff’s car into a third car. Within hours, the plaintiff developed radicular symptoms, and was ultimately diagnosed with two levels of cervical disc herniation plus a possible third level of a disc involvement in the cervical spine.
