In October 2024, the New Jersey and Manhattan offices of Jones Jones LLC came together virtually for an informative webinar on the recent rise in cases being investigated by the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) throughout New York. This webinar is one of many educational sessions and trainings Jones Jones offers staff and clients alike to remain at the forefront of litigation trends and changes.
In these cases, an insurer is claiming construction workers, local lawyers, doctors and other vendors have collaborated to stage accidents in an alleged scheme to commit insurance fraud. These instances of fraud are on the rise and have caused costly claims for insurers as well as increased insurance premiums for insureds.
Jones Jones has recently handled a number of workers’ compensation cases tied to the RICO cases, including a case that Partner Katherine Caracappa outlines in a recent Major Win Alert blog. Jones Jones remains at the forefront of litigation claims related to RICO cases and continues to win these cases as we use in-depth knowledge of workers’ compensation law and thorough research tactics to address these cases. Meetings and trainings such as the RICO webinar help Jones Jones staff stay aware of the cases, as well as informing all attorneys on tactics to continue to secure positive outcomes.
The construction team, made up of Supervising Partner Rosanna Shamash, Partner Dana Sabghir and Partner Katherine Caracappa, presented to the entire Jones Jones staff during this lunchtime webinar.
Jones Jones LLC offers educational meetings and informational trainings, such as the RICO webinar to clients to help them remain at the forefront of trending industry issues and mitigate risk to their business.
