When a bus and a bin lorry collide there are claims for severe whiplash, but will the bus company trash them? Burning questions are asked when a year after a house fire a second claim comes in, the data embedded in digital photographs submitted to support stolen items doesn’t add up, and investigators use the same black box technology you would find in an aeroplane to foil a fake motor insurance claim.
