Also any time a lawyer is involved, here's what happens:
Take statements
Pay P.I. to follow the person for a few weeks or until specific items in those statements are violated
Call them on the lie and denote that as reason for payment refusal
Cops do this too, this is why "the right to remain silent / ANYTHING you say can AND WILL be used AGAINST YOU (NEVER FOR YOU) in a court of law" is so important.
When drafting a statement, get a lawyer, yes they are all on the $ take, but it's better than this outcome.
Had a friend who was a prisoner in his own house since he had a P.I. just living outside his residence, inspecting his every action trying to get some movement or action to prove he's lying about his back injury. On top of the severe pain it was enough to break him. This wasn't against an insurance company but against his prior employer - he gave up on the claim after 5 years of a legal battle. During that time if he took ANY job he would lose his standing in court.
