With our guest
Edward Lai, Defense Attorney
Alejandro Platon, DC aka LA Healthcare Management Co were sued by the California Attorney General via a whistleblower suit on behalf of Allstate. The allegations charged Dr. Platon and several other chiropractors with fraudulent business and billing schemes.
Allstate proved that his clinics submitted 394 claims for clients of PI lawyers. That the defendants wrote false medical reports, which constituting insurance fraud.
People of Ca vs. Platon et al BC 475 239, Sept 27, 2013, L.A. Superior Court Judge William Fahey.
Todd Grecian DC Newport Beach testified for his patient, Louise Ives. Brian Killeen DC, Carlsbad, testified for Farmers Insurance.
Defendant was charged with making an unsafe U turn and striking plaintiff Ives. Farmers contended that Louise Ives had not suffered injuries and that her DC had ‘built up’ the case.
Plaintiff Louise Ives was willing to accept $7,499 before trial. Farmers played hardball and hired a forensic DC to contest the injuries, treatment and billing for Dr. Grecian. The jury agreed with Dr. Grecian and awarded $13,300. Farmers will have to pay more when the costs and interest are computed as a penalty against Farmers for failing to accept the Plaintiff’s earlier offer.
