Back when I handled criminal defense I represented a few clients accused of Work Comp Fraud. These DA’s look for the conspiracy and fraud rather than the science and medicine. An EEG study, DTI/F-MRI, and neuropsychological analysis could show whether there is objective evidence of TBI. The DA only sees the activities like skiing, running and physical exercise or Disneyland trips as evidence but ignores the actual medical evidence by doctors who diagnosed her. (How many times have athletes sustained a concussion and wanted to go back in the game -like football?); then the Da goes after the father in law lawyer when he’s relying on the doctors too. Injustice!! (Unless the medical findings do not show TBI ). If she was diagnosed with a concussion it’s a TBI, which means she has symptoms like headaches and post concussive syndrome. Activities alone do not equate to fraud if impairment exists that prevent ability to do the job, especially law enforcement.
