34 Wild, Unexpected Or Underwhelming Discoveries Made By Private Investigators, As Shared In This Online Group Worked for a law firm that routinely hired PI’s to investigate workers comp claimants. One particular juicy bust involved a guy claiming a major back injury. PI got a whole days video of him doing a roofing job. Hauling big packs of shingles up a ladder, s**t like that. They went to mediation ready to drop the video on this guy when he shows up in a wheelchair being pushed by his twin brother. The PI had been following the twin all day. Fastest check I’ve ever seen written by an insurance company.

I mean, speaking as a disabled person, even if the PI HADN'T been following the uninjured twin, sometimes you end up having to work through crippling injuries, often further injuring yourself, in order to survive. If you're applying for disability, continuing to work is often seen as a sign that you "can" work and don't need benefits, even when it's "actively killing you*. You end up having to push through inhuman amounts of pain only to collapse, end up at the hospital, and have to leave early against medical advice because you can't afford the hospital bill and you need to go back to work to pay rent. By the time the decision is made, you'll already be homeless if you *don't* push through your injury, and because you're motivated by fear which causes adrenaline, often you push further than it seems you should be capable of. I saw this happen to several friends; it's horrible to witness because these are injuries that would leave me bedridden, they took years off their lives doing this

The real twist would be if it was the actual guy on the roof, realised he got caught, so got his twin brother in on it and they split the money. Or a funny twist if he knew he was being followed and really was injured, so let the PI follow the wrong twin. Either way, it’s a great story

You’re doing filial relationships right. My two youngest brothers had a falling out and the youngest one made a decision that the three older kids (all well into adulthood at this point, BTW) had to choose between them. I continued to have a relationship with the other brother because we have so much more in common, and so I haven’t seen or spoken to the youngest in DECADES. Only our mother is exempt. It’s utterly ridiculous.

When she confronted him about it, he got so mad, flying into a rage that he confessed to her how annoying and controlling she actually is. They worked it out, saved their marriage and built a house though.

We got this strange claim about children that were hurt in a frontal collision while the parents filed no claim for themselves. The collision was against a wall.

A few things in their account of the accident didn't check out so the comp agent tasked an investigator.

Investigator found out the parents sat their two children in the backseat with fastened seatbelts, then put a rock on the accelerator pedal to crash the car in the wall and get compensated for their children's injuries. Needless to say, while we did pay for the children's care, parents got no penny and ended having to deal with CPS.

It would have cost me $12,000 to fight. I needed him to sign a pension form for years. He wouldn't sign it because his atty didn't understand it. My now husband explained it to him.

My husband broke contact with his parents two years into our marriage. They REFUSED to believe that we had relocated to live near my brother because I needed to get away from my abusive family. They thought I was "controlling" even though it was my husband's idea to leave because on top of my trauma we were just sick of the uneducated American south. What did they find out? Oh, that my oldest sister accuses everyone she dates of abuse, that she's labeled a "vindictive reporter" by social services because she will try to have kids taken away from anyone who upsets her, and that my dad can't legally own firearms because he threatened my mom with one to her head in the 70s when they were split up. Also discovered that my dad had been investigated for rape SEVEN TIMES! Needless to say but they believe my horror stories now. Though they still can't understand why my husband and I have chosen to adopt our children.Sorry, folks, my bloodline is broken. Ted Bundy could be hiding in my DNA. No!

Loved the stock images in this list - most of which had nothing to do with the accompanying story

When I was 26, a woman who was a good friend of both my parents called, asking for my Dad. He wasn't home, and the message was to tell him Helen called, but that Mom was not to know. My poor Dad, when I passed this on to him, the first words were, "It's not what you think." LOL. Their 25th anniversary was coming up, and he wanted to buy her a nice diamond ring for the occasion, and Helen was helping him pick it out. My parents married young, while he was in school, her engagement ring had been cheap. It had fallen apart years before, Dad wanted to make up for it. The funny thing, a few days later, Mom asked me if I thought getting HIM a ring for their 25th was a nice idea. I endorsed that as hard as I could without giving anything away. Watching them open those boxes on that anniversary is one of the best memories my sister and I have (she was the only one I told.) If they'd been checking up on each other, all that would have been ruined.

How do people even have the energy to lead a double life? It’s all I can do to keep up with my single one.

Or money? Seriously. One family is expensive enough.

Too bad the condition was only for him to marry and act as a sperm donor.

That's what the hateful, shameful and greedy will do: leave innocent people in their wake.

Wouldn't he legally be required to pay alimony for the daughter?
