Personal injury fraud ring is hitting the news.

Those of us who practice in New Orleans have known about this for a while. But Travers Mackel of WDSU has picked up on the story. Basically a bunch of plaintiff lawyers and corrupt doctors in cahoots with each other, and a bunch of staged accidents coming out of the same location in NO East.
And of course, the plaintiff lawyers are in a panic. They have lawyered up and are trying to spin this all as being about greedy insurance companies:
shite is about to get real down here, brah. Way past due.

They defend truck drivers and their insurance companies, and say this case isn't isolated. The two claim as many as nine lawsuits -- all filed in Orleans Parish Civil District Court -- are "nearly identical" and "plaintiffs reported no injuries to the police officer at the scene of the accident and none went to the emergency room on the night of the accident despite now all claiming significant injuries from relatively minor damages to the plaintiff's vehicles." In their motion, they call the wrecks suspicious, and allege some of the people making the claims may know each other and may be related to each other. The court documents also claim that "in every case, the truck driver had no idea there was a collision and was approached in the parking lot by someone claiming to have been involved in the accident."
And of course, the plaintiff lawyers are in a panic. They have lawyered up and are trying to spin this all as being about greedy insurance companies:

These accusations and allegations of "suspicious activity" are nothing more than a tactic used over and over by billion-dollar insurance companies to intimidate injured victims and delay their search for justice in court.

Insurance fraud is a real thing. I’ll be curious to see who the lawyers and the doctors are.

Shitty lawyers sending their uninjured clients to chiros to run up specials isn't a fraud ring
It's called being a PI lawyer

I've been saying for a year now that the PI bubble is going to pop soon. I hope I'm right and that this starts it.
There's just no way there are enough accidents in SE La to support the size of the TV lawyer operations as well as the numerous plaintiff attys who don't advertise but move a large number of cases.

I hope there are some smoking gun documents or recordings or something more than just a fight between opposing counsel getting particularly ugly.
Share some details

Motions filed by Defendants' counsel alerting the Courts to this have been circulated throughout the legal community over the past few months now. I wasn't aware of any of the cases filed in CDC, but there are several identical cases filed in federal court, all with the same strange facts where an 18 wheeler is flagged down by a plaintiff after an "alleged" accident and there's no damage to the trailer.
There was a solo practitioner named in those cases, but I don't see her listed in the article. And I hadn't heard anything about medical providers being part of the scam.
Should be interesting to see what happens.

My daughter was involved in an accident where there was only superficial damage to the other driver's car, yet my insurance company was taken for $12K due to "soft tissue injuries."

A friend of mine hit a car merging lanes at less than 10 mph, at the scene all was good and they traded insurance with the understanding my buddy would have the other guys car fixed.
A month later he is hit with five personal injury lawsuits @ 10K each, every passenger in the car had some mystery injury.

In a written statement, he blasted the motion, saying: "Justice delayed is justice denied for injured victims. For over 10 years, trial counsel for these clients have tried cases for injured victims throughout New Orleans. These accusations and allegations of "suspicious activity" are nothing more than a tactic used over and over by billion-dollar insurance companies to intimidate injured victims and delay their search for justice in court. These baseless accusations define what it means to add insult to injury. The allegations are unsubstantiated and are based on racial profiling. For over one year, our clients have been ready to put forth their case and allow a jury of their peers to determine the truth in this matter. This matter has been set for trial three times over the last year, yet the insurance company and its lawyer have continued to delay this matter from getting to court. They have no witness who substantiates their wild accusations. In fact, their own driver has refused to come to court. Desperate people who cannot prove their unfounded claims have now resorted to smearing injured victims in the media, in the hopes of influencing potential jurors. It is and has been time for the truth to be determined by a jury at Civil District Court. The King Firm and Arnona Rose, LLC, are proud to represent and stand up for all of its clients, and we will not back down in the face of attempts at intimidation by the insurance companies and its lawyers."
Sounds like he's just repeating a television commercial - all emotion and no facts.

I cant decided who I despise more, sleazy personal injury lawyers or insurance companies.

I hope they clean house in Baton Rouge too and send these shite stains to prison. Dudley Debosier and Callahan can all eat a plate of dicks, fricking scum-sucking, greedy, crooked, ambulance chasing goat turds.

I guarantee you this is fabricated by insurance companies.
