Ridesharing giant Uber has brought its widening legal offensive against personal injury lawyers and doctors to Los Angeles federal court, accusing two law firms and a doctor and his surgical practice of allegedly partnering in a well-worn conspiracy to inflate personal injury claims against Uber in pursuit of a payout under Uber’s legally mandated $1 million insurance coverage.
On July 21, Uber filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California against attorney Igor Fradkin and his firm, Downtown LA Law Group, and the Law Offices of Jacob Emrani, both of Los Angeles.
Orthopedic spinal surgeon Greg Khounganian and his medical practice, GSK Spine, of Encino, are also named as defendants in the action.
The lawsuit marks the latest in a series of actions launched by Uber in recent weeks against personal injury lawyers and doctors who Uber says are engaged in alleged schemes to use a pattern of alleged kickbacks and fraudulent or exaggerated diagnoses to inflate claims, often worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, against Uber’s $1 million insurance policies.
