What's Happening in NOLA? A Massive Staged Accident Trucking Fraud!

Eighteen-wheeler drivers are the targets of many daytime commercials: "Have you been in an accident with an eighteen-wheeler? Call my office!" How many times have you heard this while watching daytime TV from attorneys? Some unscrupulous persons have decided to help this scenario along by staging trucking accidents. A massive staged accident trucking ring was recently discovered in Louisiana and is the subject of an extensive federal fraud being investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Louisiana State Police, National Crime Insurance Bureau, and private insurance companies and attorneys. Involved participants include "cappers" and "runners," law enforcement, medical providers, and attorneys. Dozens have been indicted by the US Attorney's office and the investigation is ongoing. There has even been a murder of a cooperating defendant as well!

• Learn what staged accidents look like and how they affect the public
• Learn how the state and federal government and private industry work together to stop insurance vehicle fraud
• Learn how law enforcement and federal prosecutors cooperate to ensure appropriate prosecution for federal crimes
