Interesting Good Morning America TV clip of one man who lost his insurance benefits after being recorded on video surveillance.

This is not uncommon for the insurance company to hire an investigator to follow and videotape individuals involved in a lawsuit.  The surveillance videos may show you working in your yard, shopping, or engaging in sports activities - these videos can later be shown to a jury to refute that your injuries are as limiting as you have stated.  In a lawsuit, be completely honest about your injuries and physical limitations.  Do not hesitate to do all that you can under your doctor’s advice; however, do not do more than your doctor advises.
