Season 2 of the Deep Dive kicks off with a look at Los Angeles County and Uber Technologies massive legal actions targeting the Downtown LA Law Group over allegations of wide-ranging insurance and litigation fraud. 

Downtown LA Law Group allegedly utilized "recruiters" (aka Cappers or Runners) to pay individuals to fabricate or exaggerate sexual abuse claims involving county juvenile facilities to exploit a multi-billion dollar settlement. Similarly, Uber has filed a federal racketeering lawsuit claiming the firm collaborated with medical providers to generate inflated billing for non-existent injuries. 

In response to these scandals, legal advocacy groups and officials are demanding state bar investigations and stricter vetting processes to protect legitimate victims. These combined controversies have sparked a broader push for legislative reform regarding attorney solicitations and insurance coverage mandates in California. Consequently, the integrity of some of the largest settlements in United States history now faces intense judicial and public scrutiny.
