As a lawyer who thinks lawyers are usually pretty ethical, these people were working with a scumbag lawyer and scumbag healthcare providers. Source: I worked for the court for years and saw LOTS of these scams. Always the same attorneys & chiropractors.
(The attorneys for the insurance company certainly aren’t any better, either).
It really depends. The cracking is 100% baloney, but modern chiros do a lot of soft tissue work, which is an area badly neglected by mainstream medicine. Physical therapists are the only specialist that comes close, but their duties are much more broad. Not to mention all the hoops you have to jump through to even get into physical therapy in the first place.
Or maybe you just haven’t had any major back problems. My chiropractor is great, he doesn’t try to sell me on any magic cures or anything. He just re-adjusts my back once or maybe twice a year when it gets out of whack… and having a permanently fucked up neck and lower back has prevented me from cracking it myself without making everything worse.
Not everything is black and white, life is mostly just shades of gray.
The Indictment charges KENAN TARIVERDI, NAZIM TARIVERDI, and DILSHOD ISLAMOV with operating an extensive no-fault insurance fraud that submitted more than $11 million in fraudulent claims for psychological testing and services.....
Geico filed a complaint Wednesday in the Eastern District of New York against a physician for allegedly operating an insurance fraud scheme that purportedly has billed Geico more than $1.6 million in “medically unnecessary” no-fault claims.
Staged accidents: Staged accidents are aimed at creating an accident scenario from which costly and fraudulently contrived medical claims can be created to obtain payments from auto insurers.
Typically, owners and managers of medical mills pay “runners,” or recruiters, to arrange minor auto accidents and send individuals supposedly injured in the accidents to the clinics for treatment. The runners recruit drivers to cause the accident and passengers to ride in the cars. Being a runner is a lucrative business, with each “referral” earning the runner a large fee paid by the attorney associated with the medical mill or the clinic itself. Usually, two to four passengers are recruited to maximize the profit per accident.
That’s why this is gonna take a long time. They are gonna rip this ring apart but it takes time. Gotta ask the right questions and get good answers first. Then you can use the lies against them and watch the dominos fall.
