In a significant case, two New Orleans law firms were indicted for staging car accidents and defrauding insurance companies of millions through fake injuries and lawsuits. Vanessa Motta, a former stuntwoman turned attorney, was among those charged, further complicating the case due to her connections to previous criminal activities surrounding a deceased client involved in the inquiry.
The charges against the law firms, including the renowned King firm, highlight a deep-rooted scheme that drew in numerous individuals. They orchestrated numerous staged accidents, leading to over 49 of the original defendants pleading guilty as part of Operation Sideswipe. Many admitted not just faking injuries but undergoing unnecessary and severe surgeries to maximize settlement payouts, showcasing the alarming extent of the fraud.
