Mom loses $800K disability case after photos emerge of her winning tree-throwing competition

A woman in Ireland lost a more than $800,000 in an injury lawsuit stemming from a car crash after photos showed her launching a Christmas tree during a post-holiday competition – and winning the event. Kamila Grabska, 36, sued an insurance agency in the country, RSA Insurance, after a 2017 car crash she claimed caused her debilitating neck and back pain that prevented her from holding down a job for five years, the Irish Independent reported.

Grabska is a mom of two from the town of Ennis in County Clare, Irish media reports. The car accident was the result of someone hitting Grabska’s car from the rear, and allegedly left her unable to carry her young children or complete household chores.

She quit her job shortly after, received disability payments and argued that her previous and future lost income totaled more than $500,000, according to the Telegraph.

She never said she was in a lot of pain - they misunderstood her.

She said she was in a lot of pine...

There’s stupid, then there’s “my genes are so defective that being clever means I actually remembered to breathe today”.
This is the latter one.

I seem to remember a story in the 1990s about an FDNY firefighter on “permanent disability” due to job-related injuries losing his settlement and even being prosecuted for fraud after he was caught winning an “Iron Man” triathlon.

He might have been able to keep his disability check if he had just claimed he was retarded.

When I picture Irish women, I think of Assumpta Fitzgerald from Ballykissangel.

You CAN’T lose your EBT, food stamps, etc., IF you’re non-white, or orientation-confused.

I played beer-league ice hockey in Massachusetts with state sheriff who was on long-term disability after a duty-related car crash. The league didn’t allow checking, but it was still relatively high-skill league.

So yeah, this fraud happens everywhere.
