    Thank you.

    One picture over riding medical reality is absolutely asinine, but it works often enough that insurance companies hire PIs to follow people around. Or did, before social media and algorithms started doing all the work for them.

      She also went to the doctors after the Christmas tree throwing. It’s quite possible that the tree throwing aggrevated the injury and left her in a genuinely disabled state.

        It’s quite possible winning a Christmas tree throwing competition was the sole reason her back got fucked up. I’ve fucked up my back just putting on socks so it’s a bit absurd to assume a car accident was a necessary catalyst to an injury she reported after strenuous physical activity involving her back.

          Definitely, though it depends on the type of accident. She was hit from behind, so if it was a relatively slow speed collision near a traffic light or junction or something you’d probably be right.
