A Lie For A Lie
I generally only handle serious injury and wrongful passing cases. I have told dozens of clients to pack their bags once I determine they lied to me about what happened. Most of these liars admitted it to me in a way that indicated they thought the entire process was a game of be-the-best-liar, “They’re going to lie, so I’m going to lie”.
You never, ever—no matter the weather—want a serious injury client with a credibility problem. We regularly put six figures in expenses and time into these cases and I’m not about to do that if we have a liar for a client. Keep in mind, I am talking about lying about important facts, and not, “This is what I remember”. Also not talking about when it turns out inconsistent with the physical evidence.
I’m not talking about, “I didn’t mention this yesterday because I was embarrassed”. I’m not even talking about, “I didn’t tell you I have been double filling my oxygen script that was a decade ago, and I can’t do that anymore, because I knew it was wrong”. I’m talking just about lies about what happened.
