New Orleans Man Pleads Guilty To Conspiring To Stage Automobile Accidents In Order To Defraud Insurance and Trucking Companies
States Attorney Peter G. Strasser announced that DAMIAN LABEAUD (“LABEAUD”), age 48, of New Orleans, entered a plea of guilty today to Conspiracy to Commit Wire Fraud, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 371, arising out of staged automobile accidents with tractor-trailers occurring in New Orleans.
According to today’s guilty plea, LABEAUD, along with his co-conspirators and others, beginning at a time unknown and continuing through the present, conspired to commit wire fraud in connection with staged accidents, including two that occurred on June 6, 2017, and June 12, 2017. Previously, on January, 30, 2020 and May 28, 2020, six of LABEAUD’s codefendants (Mario Solomon, Larry Williams, Lucinda Thomas, Mary Wade, Judy Williams, and Dashontae Young) all tendered guilty pleas and admitted to their knowing participation in a scheme to stage automobile accidents in the New Orleans area in an effort to defraud insurance and trucking companies.
Today, LABEAUD admitted to acting as the driver, or “slammer,” in both the June 6 and the June 12 staged automobile accidents alleged in the Superseding Indictment. As the “slammer,” LABEAUD intentionally caused the collisions with the 18-wheeler tractor-trailers. After the accidents, LABEAUD immediately exited the vehicles in which he had staged the accidents and fled the scene with the help of a codefendant who was acting as a “spotter,” or driver of a getaway car. LABEAUD’s codefendants received a total of $43,000.00 as a result of the fraudulent lawsuits that were filed on their behalf for the June 6 and June 12 accidents.
According to today’s guilty plea, LABEAUD staged numerous accidents for various attorneys, including at least 40 staged accidents with 18-wheeler tractor-trailers for Attorney A. Per their agreement, after each staged accident, LABEAUD would connect the passengers in the staged accidents with Attorney A so that Attorney A could represent them in conjunction with the accident. Attorney A would then pay LABEAUD $1,000.00 for every passenger that was involved in a staged accident with an 18-wheeler tractor-trailer. Attorney A would either pay LABEAUD an advance, or would pay him for the accidents soon after they were staged. Attorney A knew that LABEAUD was staging the accidents and the two would often discuss the accidents either in person or over the phone, through calls or text messages.

I believe that this case has been getting mentioned off and on here for at least six months, if not longer. Guess they finally rolled up a lot of the players involved.

And who are those various attorneys?

This isn't really a big development sadly. We're still waiting on the lawyers (and ex lawyers) who ran this thing to be indicted. Way to get our hopes up.

And people wonder why the state has some of the highest insurance rates in the country.

This is the most New Orleans shite I’ve ever seen

They may not get indicted right now, but they will definitely be losing their law licenses over it.
I handle some of these in South Carolina. Haven't caught a lawyer yet, but have busted a repair shop who was orchestrating it. Doctors occasionally get busted for their billing shenanigans with wreck cases.

WWLTV Drive By Robbery
Something similar was covered in November. The Nugent Keating Personal Injuries Law Firm was nailed by WWL...
ETA: link above exposes the scam.

This guy has flipped and agreed to plead guilty. This is just the start.
