But… apparently he is being legitimately injured here, no? So…?

It’s possible to be both actually injured AND filing a fraudulent Personal Injury suit. If the defendant had nothing to do with your injury (real or imagined) and you know it, the suit is fraudulent no matter how much it hurts.
Among other methods, one way to end up in that category is if the injury was your own fault.
Maybe this is divine retribution for a false previous claim.
Or, maybe, since there are lawyers in the room, the point of the cartoon is that any claim, past or future, can be expected to get an accusation of falsehood by someone who would otherwise be on the hook to pay it….
My thought was that the guy somehow installed the elevating chair himself. It seems excessively improbable as a courtroom finishing.
He’s got the ability to injure himself in truly astonishingly stupid and improbable ways. He gets accused of falsifying it, because there’s no way he could possibly have done THAT to hurt himself, right?
He has a knack for getting hurt in dumb, incredible ways, so people think he’s lying. But he’s not, lol
Yeah, it’s just that he is amazingly clumsy
So they accuse him of filing a fraudulent claim, and he immediately pulls the handle on the ejector seat that he knows about only because he’s filed fraudulent claims before, and then… they say you must have filed fraudulent claims before because only fraudulent claims filers are told about the ejector seat, which, btw, doesn’t work very well, does it. and now you’re legitimately injured?
The Judge should be firm with the clumsy guy and say “Ejection over-ruled.”
