Linda Ann Rose of King County, Washington was ordered to pay $300,000 in restitution after it was determined that she faked an injury from a minor fender bender in Issaquah, Washington near Seattle.
The accident involved a minor collision between an SUV and Rose’s car, a rented Ford Mustang. She claimed severe back injuries and sued the driver of the SUV. A demand of over $650,000 was made against the SUV driver’s insurance company.
It was later found out that Rose had prior back injuries and altered medical reports that were provided to her own attorney.
The $300,000 restitution involved a repayment of $250,000 to Progressive Insurance, $25,000 to MetLife and she had to forfeit $25,000 of a structured settlement that had not yet been paid to her.
