Dutton Law Group, P. A.

Florida Insurance Fraud Education Committee (FIFEC) Conference www.fifec.org . 

This year, as is the past, Hayes Wood, Jim Rinaman and I will be presenting on the currents  trends in PIP litigation.

·       Hayes will address the investigation and litigation of staged accidents and related fraud issues, and speak on when such issues are really “litigable” to a jury. 

·       Jim Rinaman will address the NCCI litigation, and billing issues relating to nursing services.

 ·       Lastly, I will be providing a discussion of current legal issues such as where we are with EUOs post-Custer Medical, the permissive v. mandatory issues post Kingsway Amigo with recommendations for handling presuit demands, cases post presuit but presuit, class actions, and cases in suit (we will discuss options for handling in the 4^th DCA v. 1^st, 2d, 3d, 4^th, and 5^th DCAs), the pending permissive v. mandatory case pending in the 3d DCA, and other hot button issues (will include a case law summary of the DCA decision since January 1, 2010) and key county court and circuit court opinions.

Importantly, if there are issues that you would like to have discussed at the seminar, please let us know! We will be finalizing our presentations over the weekend. Hayes, Jim and I hope to see you next Thursday morning!
