My holiday gift for those who are hypocritical enough to both read Overlawyered and fake their own slip and fall case. But, even with my advice, you are going to need some holiday magic to make it all work. Because your chances of being successful are about one in a thousand. This is pretty dumb and extreme too. Most purely manufactured accident claims are bus jumpers and this does happen with great frequency.

Adam, most plaintiffs’ lawyers handling a slip and fall case of this size against the DC Metro is not going to go down and watch the video. He or she is just going to get hit with it at trial or during discovery. Most likely they produced it in discovery, the lawyer dropped the case and they brought the fraud charges. Good hustle from the Metro who I though would just drop it and move on.
