Accident victim accused of mounting sham case

A Polish man suing his employer and a motorist for compensation from two accidents was accused yesterday of mounting a sham case and misleading everyone from lawyers, doctors and the defence to the High Court judge hearing the case.

Tomasz Ewertowski, of Forrest Ridge Crescent, Wilton, Cork, said at the end of the third day of his civil action: “I did not mislead anyone. If I wanted to pretend, I would lock myself at home so no one would see me. I knew private investigators were following me. They were parked outside my house so I knew it.

“I feel a victim of the whole situation. I had [accidents]. I am going to all the treatments prescribed. Do you think I was happy such accidents happened to me?”
