Jennifer had a very bad year. She wrecked her car in January when she ran a red light (because she could not see properly having left her contacts at home) and crashed into another car completely destroying both cars. The insurance company was very nice to her and she purchased a new car with the insurance proceeds. Jennifer decided that since she had insurance, it really did not matter if she took proper care of her new car because she could always get a new one. Jennifer got in the habit of leaving her new car unlocked and it was stolen. After Jennifer bought another car she decided that she really liked the insurance adjuster and wanted to see him again, so one day she purposefully set her car on fire. In her carelessness, she also caught her hand on fire. Jennifer was depressed over her circumstances and decided she didn’t want to go back to work. She filed a falsified disability claim for the loss of use of her hand (even though she could still use her hand). Which of the following statements is true? Driving with poor eyesight is not a hazard. Leaving the car unlocked is a morale hazard. Burning the car on purpose is a morale hazard. Filing a false disability claim is a morale hazard.
