Judge hits out at ‘unembarrassed liar’ over £5million bike crash compensation claim
A judge has dismissed a £5 million compensation claim from Grant Greening-Steer, labeling him an 'unembarrassed liar.' The claim was based on alleged severe injuries from a motorcycle accident, but surveillance footage contradicted his assertions of disability. The judge concluded that Greening-Steer exaggerated his condition and was capable of normal activities.
- ▪Grant Greening-Steer claimed he needed a mobility scooter and struggled with daily tasks after a motorcycle accident.
- ▪Surveillance footage showed him walking normally, leading the judge to label him a 'malingerer.'
- ▪The judge determined that Greening-Steer's actual claim was worth about £378,420, but due to dishonesty, he would receive nothing.
