86 Arrested In Auto Insurance Fraud Bust

cbs2.com - 86 Arrested In Auto Insurance Fraud Bust: "Eighty-six people were arrested on suspicion of bilking insurance companies out of more than $500,000 in one of the largest auto insurance fraud cases ever filed in Los Angeles County, the District Attorney's Office announced Friday.

The 200-plus-count indictments allege employees from 12 law offices in the San Gabriel Valley referred clients who had been in auto accidents to chiropractors and worked out a system to overcharge insurance companies.

Insurance settlements were then distributed by the law offices to the client, law office and chiropractor clinics, according to the District Attorney's Office.

More than 100 people were indicted for allegedly participating in the scheme, including 13 office administrators, two attorneys and 87 insurance claimants."
