S2 E12 The Law Firm Monetizing Human Bodies GNY v Subin
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This Deep Dive discusses the incredible legal complaint filed by Greater New York Mutual Insurance Company (GNY) against an extensive network of defendants for allegedly orchestrating a massive insurance fraud scheme. GNY claims that Subin Associates and other law firms collaborated with medical providers, litigation funders, and "runners" to recruit claimants for staged or exaggerated accidents. These claimants were reportedly directed to undergo medically unnecessary surgeries and invasive treatments solely to artificially inflate the value of personal injury and workers' compensation lawsuits. The lawsuit alleges that these parties functioned as a racketeering enterprise that utilized mail and wire fraud to extort settlements from insurers. GNY seeks to dismantle this operation, citing violations of the RICO Act and state laws regarding insurance fraud and deceptive business practices. Based on the detailed accounts of multiple "exemplar" claimants, the plaintiff argues that this coordinated misconduct undermines the legal system and increases insurance costs for the general public.
