Three insurance companies yesterday filed a $102 million racketeering suit against a company they said used crooked doctors, lawyers and NYPD aides to run lucrative medical mills.
Calling it the largest no-fault fraud case in New York history, the companies sued 10 “ringleaders” of Parallel Management Group in Brooklyn – saying they ran a sophisticated, corporate-style enterprise.
“This is a story about the all-too-common, no-fault medical mill built on greed, not need,” said Steve Englert, chief fraud investigator for Allstate Insurance Co.
No one answered the phone at Parallel yesterday, and a lawyer for the group said the principals would not comment.
The ring also “infiltrated the New York City Police Department,” bribing more than 20 police administrative aides to supply blank accident reports and enter fictitious reports to make phony crashes look real, the suit says.
