Red Rock Resorts earnings beat by $0.54, revenue topped estimates
Investing.com -- Uber (NYSE:UBER) filed a lawsuit on Tuesday against a Miami law firm and a medical center, alleging they orchestrated a medical and insurance scam involving staged car accidents.
The ride-hailing company filed the suit in federal court in Miami against Law Group of South Florida and firm attorney Andy Loynaz. Uber claims they participated in a scheme to pay drivers to intentionally cause collisions with other vehicles and then falsely claim they were using the Uber app while driving.
According to the lawsuit, auto mechanics and healthcare providers at River Medical (TASE:BLWV) Center in Miami and other clinics falsely claimed the crashes caused severe injuries that required medical treatment. These false statements allegedly formed the basis for fraudulent lawsuits against Uber and its insurance provider.
The lawsuit details how the defendants reportedly created these staged accidents to generate insurance claims and legal actions against the company.
