Next week is the Florida Insurance Fraud Education Committee (FIFEC) Conference www.fifec.org .
This year, as is the past, Hayes Wood, Jim Rinaman and I will be presenting on the currents trends in PIP litigation.
·
Hayes will address the investigation and litigation of staged accidents
and related fraud issues, and speak on when such issues are really “litigable”
to a jury.
·
Jim Rinaman will address the NCCI litigation, and billing issues
relating to nursing services.
·
Lastly, I will be providing a discussion of current legal issues such
as where we are with EUOs post-Custer Medical, the permissive v.
mandatory issues post Kingsway Amigo with recommendations for handling
presuit demands, cases post presuit but presuit, class actions, and cases in
suit (we will discuss options for handling in the 4th DCA v.
1st, 2d, 3d, 4th, and 5th DCAs),
the pending permissive v. mandatory case pending in the 3d DCA, and other hot
button issues (will include a case law summary of the DCA decision since
January 1, 2010) and key county court and circuit court opinions.
Importantly, if there are issues that
you would like to have discussed at the seminar, please let us know! We will be
finalizing our presentations over the weekend. Hayes, Jim and I hope to see you
next Thursday morning!
