When a bus and a bin lorry collide, there are claims for severe whiplash - but will the bus company trash them? Burning questions are asked when, a year after a house fire, a second claim comes in, while the paperwork submitted to support a break-in turns out to be bogus. And investigators use the same black box technology you would find in an aeroplane to foil a fake motor insurance claim.
