Fake injuries can Hurt Many people dear Ann Landers a lot of folks think they Are being ripped off by insurance companies but what i just witnessed has shown me the other Side of the Story. I am mad As hell. I was Riding a Public transit bus to work yesterday when a Van ran a Stop Light and the bus i was on hit the Van s rear bumper. The bumper fell off and the door was slightly dented. Because the bus Driver was so skill Ful we were spared what might have been a serious Accident. The bus Driver stopped radioed the police and went out to speak to the Driver of the Van and examine the damage. Two women seated directly across from me suddenly fell out of their scats landed on the floor and started . One said i think my neck is broken. Call a the other yelled i Hurt my Back. Get me an Ann Landers i was stunned. The Falls occurred fully two minutes after the bus had stopped. The Man sitting beside me whispered in my ear those women arc looking to sue the transit com Pany for injuries. It s gotten to be quite a moment later two people got on the bus Laid Down in the aisle and pretended they also had been injured in the these people Lay in the aisle until a policeman came aboard and an ambulance was called. They were taken to the Hospital for Obser this sort of deception makes me furious. De cent people like you and me have to pay higher insurance premiums because of Crooks who tile phony claims. I Hope you will print my letter and put a spot Light on that Racket. New York City dear . City that Racket has been around a Long time. A few. Weeks ago the new York times reported on a sting operation that snagged a number of Crooks. Here s How it was done. The mass transit authorities in the state of new Jersey staged several phony accidents and had them secretly limed. One Accident in East Orange non involved a Small bus with 15 passengers planted by the bus company. Video cameras were mounted both inside the bus and out and caught pictures of 17 people Rushing to get on the bus before the police arrived. They All claimed to have been passengers when the Accident occurred and of course they were All so what is the solution both the medical and Legal professions should do a better Job of policing their own. When they learn of improprieties they should hit the offenders with heavy financial penalties and a lot of bad publicity. If it happens again offenders should be barred from practising.
