  • June 18, 2019

The People's Court season 22 episode 146, titled "You Are A Faker," is a legal reality TV show that portrays real-life legal disputes between plaintiffs and defendants in small claims court. The episode follows a case in which the plaintiff accuses the defendant of faking an injury to extract money from the plaintiff's insurance company.

Judge Marilyn Milian presides over the case and listens to both sides argue their cases. The plaintiff, a woman named Sarah, claims that the defendant, a man named John, is feigning a back injury he sustained in a car accident. According to Sarah, the accident was minor, and John did not experience any immediate physical pain or discomfort after the accident. However, a few days after the accident, John contacted Sarah's insurance company and filed a claim for personal injury.

Sarah argued that John's claim was fraudulent and that he had no proof of any injury-related expenses. She claimed that John was using the accident as an excuse to make quick cash. John, on the other hand, maintained that he indeed suffered a serious back injury and incurred medical expenses because of it. He presented medical records and bills to support his argument.

During the trial, Judge Milian carefully examined all the evidence and listened to both parties' testimonies. She asked Sarah to present any evidence that proved John was feigning his injury. Sarah provided video footage of John playing basketball at a park with his friends. She argued that if John was truly injured, he would not be able to perform such physical activities.

John admitted that he played basketball after the accident, but he claimed that his injury was not severe enough to prevent him from engaging in physical activities. He argued that the injury only became worse a few days after the accident.

Judge Milian also questioned John about his medical diagnosis and treatment. John claimed that he visited a medical facility as soon as he experienced pain in his back. However, Judge Milian pointed out that the medical records provided only showed that John visited a chiropractor and not a medical doctor. She questioned John's decision to only visit a chiropractor and not a licensed medical doctor.

As the trial progressed, it became clear that John had indeed suffered a back injury. However, Judge Milian also found that he had exaggerated the extent of his injury and the medical bills he incurred. She noted that John's medical records did not show any significant injuries or treatments that required a significant amount of medical expenses.

Based on the evidence presented, Judge Milian ruled in favor of Sarah. She ordered John to reimburse Sarah's insurance company for the exaggerated medical expenses and to pay a penalty for submitting a fraudulent claim.

In conclusion, "You Are A Faker" is an exciting episode of The People's Court that showcases a real-life legal dispute between two parties. It highlights the importance of providing accurate and honest information when filing insurance claims. The episode is a great example of how small claims court works and how judges carefully examine evidence to make a decision.
