Overview

Secret filming exposes cracks in the foundations of a builder's grossly exaggerated personal injury claim, causing it to come tumbling down. A holidaymaker hopes that his travel insurance will pay out for new fishing tackle and a designer wardrobe after he claims to have been kidnapped whilst on holiday in Venezuela. Shortly after passing his test, a young driver is caught up in a crash-for-cash scam. CCTV exposes one bus passenger's theatrical fake fall in an effort to cash in, and further around the globe we take a look at some truly extraordinary attempts by pedestrians to induce accidents and lucrative personal injury claims.
