A Brooklyn-based personal injury attorney allegedly ran a massive scheme that used staged car accidents to drive up insurance payouts, according to a new, bombshell lawsuit — that comes as Gov. Kathy Hochul ramps up her campaign to crack down on such scams.
FedEx filed the 92-page suit Tuesday accusing the Ikhilov Law Group and its owner, attorney Zorik “Erik” Ikhilov, of running a sophisticated ring also involving doctors and medical providers that aimed to bilk the delivery giant through bogus liability claims.
“The staged accidents, coordinated medical referrals, and rapid escalation to injections or surgeries all serve a single purpose which is manufacturing the statutory prerequisites necessary to commence a personal injury action,” states the Manhattan federal court filing.
