No-Fault Civil RICO Lawyers in New York and New Jersey

Representing Defendants in Civil Court

In New York and New Jersey, automobile insurance policies provide coverage for medical expenses arising from injuries sustained in car accidents. The medical benefits portion of the automobile insurance policy is known as “No-Fault” coverage, and it applies to anyone in the vehicle regardless of who is at fault for the collision. In lieu of seeking payment directly from the patient (the insured or other injured party), the medical provider accepts an assignment of benefits from the patient, which then permits the medical provider to bill the automobile insurer directly for the patient’s medical treatment. Unfortunately, notwithstanding black letter law that requires automobile insurers to treat medical providers in a non-adversarial manner, most No-Fault claims are denied.

Further, the automobile insurer will sometimes file a Fraud/Civil RICO lawsuit in yet another attempt to avoid payment of the medical provider’s claim. In filing such a lawsuit, the automobile insurer is relying on the medical provider lacking either the means or the fortitude to mount a defense to the lawsuit, or the ability to wait an extended period for payment of its claim. Unfortunately, this reliance is not misplaced, as medical providers are too often compelled to surrender their valid No-Fault claims without putting up a fight. It is in this arena that The Russell Friedman Law Group, LLP has battled automobile insurers for over two decades, championing the interests of underdog medical providers.

Damages in No-Fault Civil RICO Cases

The RICO Act has its roots in the government’s effort to interrupt organized crime, fraudulent dealings, and money laundering. As such, RICO laws and punishments are severe. In a No-Fault civil RICO suit, the defendant can be ordered to pay triple the amount of money they are accused of obtaining fraudulently, as well as any court costs and attorney fees incurred in pursuing the case.

With so much money potentially on the line in your No-Fault civil RICO case, you are going to want to do all that you can to prevail. Failure is not an option in this realm. The first step you should take is to contact our law firm and discuss what to do next.

There is No Time to Lose – Act Now

As a defendant in a No-Fault civil RICO lawsuit, it is important to begin mounting your defense to the lawsuit sooner rather than later. The automobile insurer has a head start, as it is the insurer that initiates the action, and you can assume that they have already dedicated their vast resources in furtherance of their lawsuit before you have even received a copy of the papers. The longer you delay, the more difficult it will be for you to succeed.
