re: US District Court in NOLA has stayed a bunch of civil cases where fraud has been alleged.

To follow on my previous post, there are ways to deal with insurance scams - which it appears the federal courts are doing effectively. My point is you don’t screw over innocent people by eliminating a long established system which effectively takes care of injured people to stop a few bad actors.

The courts have been doing this a long time - the collateral source rule is common law; not statutory law (don’t know about Louisiana’s weird arse Napleonic system). Judges will sanction lawyers and parties who commit fraud. And that includes insurance defense lawyers and their clients who engage in discovery abuse and fraud on their end.

You don’t need to throw the baby out with the bath water. The courts- as proven by OP - are dealing with the fraudsters appropriately.
