Insurance Fraud Recovery Actions

The cornerstone of Parker, PLLC’s practice comes down to shining light where there is deception. The firm’s founder Michael Parker spent years in the insurance industry as an investigator. Those experiences have enabled him to build a firm that is equipped to handle allegations of fraud involving insurance carriers, third party administrators, self-insureds and government entities as plaintiffs or defendants.

Civil RICO 

We fight against financial corruption by uncovering it. One way our firm does this is through the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO). These claims require a lesser burden of proof than in criminal proceedings and can be satisfied by a preponderance of the evidence.

Qui Tam Actions

Qui Tam, also known as “the whistleblower statute,” is a provision of the federal Civil False Claims Act. It allows people to file a lawsuit alleging fraud by government contractors and others who receive or use government funds. Individual “whistleblowers” or “relators” are eligible to receive between 15% and 25% of the funds recovered in any case.

Case Highlights

  • The firm secured a $1.5 million verdict against a consortium of emergency restoration companies in Southern California and as a result collapsed the organized fraudulent enterprise.
  • The firm successfully represented an insurance carrier in a seven-figure internal theft investigation and criminal prosecution after an adjuster and family members engaged in a years-long embezzlement. The firm managed the investigation and acted as liaison to federal and state prosecutors. As a result of the firm’s representation, some of the stolen funds were recovered and several bad actors prosecuted.
