A cooked-up story following a minor prang between a pizza delivery bike and a Mercedes lands the claimant in court. A laptop is sawn in half, but is it really a case of home improvements gone wrong? A prisoner takes a tumble down the stairs and claims it’s the prison’s fault, until CCTV footage tells a different story. A minor bump on a petrol forecourt results in a false claim for whiplash, and insurance investigators turn the tables on a woman claiming £690,000 for a personal injury after a surveillance operation reveals she’s living life to the full.
