Wow. Takes some guts to file suit against somebody when there are outsanding warrants out for your arrest in two states… I would assume they’d run a check on something like that…
I knew a guy who was in a minor car accident in Florida - his fault. The other guy claimed he had suffered a serious back injury that made it painful to walk, required extensive treatment, prevented him from working, etc.
This went on for some time and was beginning to look like a serious problem, until one of those hurricanes came along. The “injured” guy was in construction and couldn’t pass up the opportunity to work for some great wages repairing damage. The insurance company managed to shoot a video of him hauling lumber around, climbing ladders, working on a roof, etc. It was a miraculous recovery from a major injury.
