by Scandalous Attempt to Receive an Insurance Payout for a Porsche
A Porsche 911 driver attempted to receive nearly $100,000 in compensation for an accident that occurred in 2022 on the British A13 highway. However, his claims fell apart after a camera on a truck’s dashboard recorded the true circumstances of the incident.
33-year-old Terrell Brooks claimed he sustained injuries when his Porsche was hit by a truck while parked on the roadside. However, the recording showed that the driver was actually hiding behind a road sign, not sitting in the car. Following this, his lawyers withdrew the lawsuit.
False Claims and Consequences
Brooks demanded compensation for vehicle damage, medical treatment, and lost earnings. However, the insurance company AXA UK managed to prove the fraud thanks to the camera recording. Lawyers stated:
The recording clearly showed that Brooks was in the bushes, not in the car. His story fell apart the moment evidence emerged.
As a result, Brooks not only lost the right to the payout but was also forced to reimburse the insurance company’s legal costs. The incident once again highlighted the importance of video recording for investigating road incidents. Although the details of the Porsche’s damage remain unclear, this story serves as a warning to those attempting to manipulate insurance claims.
