What Are the Growing Risks of RICO Litigation?
The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) was enacted to address organized criminal activity. Its civil provisions have increasingly become a basis for lawsuits brought by insurers and corporations against personal injury firms.
These lawsuits frequently challenge how attorneys interact with medical providers and referral sources. Practices traditionally considered routine are being scrutinized as potential evidence of coordinated fraud. The webinar will examine the legal standards governing RICO claims and the defenses available to attorneys facing such allegations. Panelists will also address how racketeering accusations affect underlying injury cases, including the potential expansion of discovery into attorney practices.
