GEICO Sues 411-PAIN & South Florida Law Firms

December 12th, 2017

Thousands of allegedly fraudulent insurance charges are the focus of a new $15 million Geico lawsuit.

The suit against 411-PAIN focuses on claims for services that “were medically unnecessary, illusory, unlawful, and otherwise unreimbursable,” including medical exams, diagnostic imaging, and therapies, and chiropractic services.

A complicated web of 411-PAIN questionable practices is detailed, and a 2012 Florida Attorney General suit against 411-PAIN is referenced. 411-PAIN settled that and paid more than $500,000 in penalties.

Who’s The Coach Killer?

December 11th, 2017

BY IRA KAUFMAN

Gather ’round Buc fans, we’ve got a classic whodunit on our hands.

Somebody wants Dirk Koetter fired, that much is clear. If the Glazers haven’t already made up their minds about whether to bring Koetter back for 2018, the best way to get him out of town is to suggest things have soured between the head coach and the face of the franchise. [read more]

Ira Kaufman’s 10 Takeaways From Bucs-Lions

December 10th, 2017

Sage Ira is about as disgusted as most Bucs fans. He shares a neat nugget from Matthew Stafford, and plenty, plenty more.

BY IRA KAUFMAN

The Bucs suffered a blind-side hit before the game even started on Sunday, courtesy of a national report that suggested Dirk Koetter and Jameis Winston have a strained relationship.

Then the Bucs went out and virtually handed the Lions a 24-21 triumph that won’t help the relationship between Koetter and Tampa Bay’s disconsolate fan base.

Undermined by five giveaways, the Bucs assured themselves of a losing season after three months of hard knocks and soft defense.

There were some bright spots amid the darkness, but in the end the Lions took another step toward an NFC Wild Card berth while the Bucs slouched toward a division basement they have grown accustomed to. [read more]
