Fake
Almost two-thirds (60%) of GPs say they have seen more patients feigning or exaggerating injuries to make a fraudulent compensation claim in the last two years, according to research by LV=. Almost nine out of 10 GPs have seen a patient who was completely inventing an injury and almost all GPs interviewed (96%) said they have been visited by someone they suspected was exaggerating an injury.
