An Irish woman’s $820k injury claim is now closed after she was photographed winning a Christmas tree tossing competition.

When it comes to insurance claims or injury claims you have to get your story 100% correct or you’ll lose every time. One Irish woman is learning that that hard way after a little bit of fun cost her a $820k injury claim.

According to NBC News, Kamila Grabska was involved in a car accident in 2017 and alleged she had “debilitating pain” as a result of the accident. Furthermore, she claims this made it impossible for her to work or do any heavy lifting.

She even went to court with this same story when she sued RSA Insurance for $542,000.

Her case was ultimately thrown out after she was photographed winning a Christmas tree-throwing competition. The winner of the contest is the person who throws a tree the farthest. Needless to say, winning this went against everything she claimed in her lawsuit. When the photo came up in court Grabska alleged she felt pain while she threw the tree and smiling was her attempt to live a normal life.

“the significant majority of claims that we handle are genuine.” a spokesperson for RSA INsurance stated. They added that the firm was “very pleased with the outcome of this case and it sends out a clear message that we will robustly challenge any attempt to pursue claims that are not genuine.”

With nearly 1 Million dollars on the line, you have to commit to the finesse. When you get caught red-handed doing insurance fraud there isn’t much you can say. Grabska is lucky she didn’t end up behind bars for her little stunt.
