"So we attended the party, and surprise, surprise. We found, and filmed, our subject dancing the night away for two hours. No screaming, no hollering, no ambulances. Party Queen instead of Drama Queen.

"Shortly thereafter, the subject was interviewed by her employer, and confronted with the film we had taken, and the fact that she appeared completely normal with no knee difficulties (while out on a Workers Comp claim), other than during her hysterical trips to the hospital. Someone who is so injured they can't work, is not usually found bowling and dancing for hours at a time.

"She finally confessed to the fact that she was addicted to painkillers. She had a prescription for these, but when the prescription would run out she would fake another injury or relapse, along with a highly dramatic trip to the ER, so she could get another fix.

"So the problem (addiction to painkillers) caused her to fake a claim. Our film of inconsistent behavior broke the case and elicited the confession. We heard she was in rehab shortly thereafter."

Another victory for truth, justice, and lower insurance premiums.
