Legislation clamping down on widespread sham medical clinics and staged crash rings that are looting Florida's no-fault insurers was introduced in the state legislature March 16 (SB 1930 and HB 1411).

"These bills set up new roadblocks against fraud factories that mass-produce bogus crash-injury claims. Dishonest clinics are quack shacks pretending to practice legitimate medicine while looting auto insurers," Florida consumer advocate Walter Dartland, co-chair of the Sunshine Alliance to Erase Fraud, said.

The Sunshine Alliance is helping spearhead passage of the companion Senate and House bills. Florida insurers, consumer advocates and law enforcement are jointly pursuing no-fault fraud reforms through the Sunshine Alliance. Co-chair Dartland also is a board member of the Coalition Against Insurance Fraud.
