One of the five biggest mistakes that can wreck a claimant's accident case is misrepresenting or exaggerating their injuries or how they have affected their activities. In a case recently tried in Raleigh, North Carolina, the plaintiff claimed that long-lasting effects of a brain injury sustained in a car and truck accident had destroyed and derailed her plans to become a teacher, according to a report in Lawyers USA. But her MySpace page told a different story as it includes pictures of the plaintiff at parties and entries describing her job searches and classes she was taking. The MySpace posting seriously undermined the plaintiff's injury claims and the jury rejected completely her case.
