Thank you posting this article. This is HUGE!!! Is there just one legal mafia in sin city? I have heard there are several different “legal mafias” milling about. I am informed and believe that one deals with land, one deals with old or dead people and one deals with home owners associations. Please investigate, enlighten us and by all means…BRING THE RAIN!

You expect this type of behavior from lawyers but DOCTORS performing unnecessary spinal surgeries. Many of their patient / victims will live in agony for the rest of their lives not to mention the lady who was paralyzed as consequence. Just appalling! Tort reform isn’t the answer, our judicial system needs a complete overhaul.

Wow that article is shocking. Perhaps some statistician should do a study comparing Las Vegas insurance rates with insurance rates in other areas (adjusting for accident occurence rates) to see just how much this alleged conspiracy has been costing Las Vegas drivers. I’ll bet it would be a lot. But I suspect it would be very difficult indeed to find an area of the country where insurance fraud is low enough to make it an adequate “control” for comparison.
