Fubotv earnings beat by $0.10, revenue topped estimates
Investing.com -- Uber Technologies Inc . (NYSE:UBER) has initiated a racketeering lawsuit against a consortium of law firms, medical practitioners, and pain-management clinics. The lawsuit alleges that these entities have been staging fake car accidents and conducting unnecessary surgeries to exploit New York’s no-fault insurance policies.
According to the lawsuit filed on Thursday in Brooklyn, New York, this fraudulent activity has been ongoing since at least 2019. The accused parties are alleged to have conspired to exploit passengers involved in minor or even fabricated vehicle collisions. The lawsuit claims that these passengers were often subjected to medically unnecessary procedures, sometimes involving invasive and painful surgeries such as spinal fusions.
Uber’s lawsuit further alleges that these medical conditions were either fictitious, exaggerated, or pre-existing, and were used as a means to take advantage of the insurance policies. The ride-sharing giant’s legal action is a response to what it perceives as a systematic exploitation of its passengers and the insurance system.
