Bowling leagues, too, I imagine.


I've done both myself. Even subpoenaed ESPN's records after catching one of my claimants participating in a fully sponsored pro-am tournament that way (claiming a dominant hand wrist injury, no less).

Between organized sports and social media, they make it sooooo easy sometimes.

My goodness, if you are going to attempt to scam an insurance company, you better not be on social media. Crime 101. Good luck.

Hehhehheh. Our firm did something similar.

Filmed the "incapacitated" plaintiff playing golf. Got him on the record in a deposition saying he couldn't even walk. Then rolled in the video monitor and played the tape of him walking the course, practicing his swing, etc. Case didn't end well for him. Big Grin

The worst day in every PI lawyers life, when the defendants lawyers set up a meeting to discuss settlement, you make yourself comfortable in their conference room, a paralegal draws the window shades and shows the video.

A friend of man had that happen years ago, almost finished him. A case he had put months and months, thousands of dollars (back when a thousand was a lot of money!) and expected an enormous settlement from.




Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

I was once part of a 3 week jury trial where the plaintiff claimed that his ortho injuries were so severe that he needed R shoulder and L knee surgery from his vehicle being struck by an empty freight car that got loose in a rail yard.

Now he was partially out of the vehicle at the time of impact and he was covered in diesel fuel but for quite a few days afterward he claimed no injury and was rather macho for surviving the encounter. That is until a PI attorney got ahold of him.

That all was just dandy except that he was an avid golfer and those body parts were the ones he needed to have surgery on from his golf. He was such a dumb fuck that he posted his scores online and he was down to around a 5 or so handicap. Surveillance showed that his MO was to go to 7-11 and buy a suitcase of beer and meet his golf buddies 3-4 days a week and shoot 18 holes.

The PI attorney was slightly irked to learn of this as we approached trial. Jury wasn't too pleased either when the plaintiff tried to explain that he was forced to golf because this accident so fucked up his life that he found no reason to live unless he could bury his hurt, stress and anger into golf.

After the trial his wife called asking why I further fucked up his life by putting up a strong defense and getting surveilance. Yes, people are that stupid.

Good days indeed.
