This Deep Dive discusses the Uber and FedEx suit against the law firm of Simon and Simon.  They allege that the law firm Simon & Simon orchestrated a massive racketeering scheme to inflate the value of personal injury lawsuits. The plaintiffs claim that attorney Marc Simon collaborated with a network of corrupt medical providers, including doctors and chiropractors, to fabricate fraudulent medical records and perform unnecessary procedures. These medical defendants allegedly diagnosed non-existent injuries and projected exorbitant future care costs to secure artificially high settlements. The filing details numerous specific examples where minor traffic accidents were transformed into million-dollar claims through systematic mail and wire fraud. Consequently, the companies are seeking treble damages and equitable relief under the RICO Act to stop the ongoing conspiracy.
