Unfortunately, Chicago especially is full of crooked lawyers who will take up any case if they smell easy money in it. There is a whole industry of fake injury and concussion claims that have allowed many lawyers in Chicago to make millions. As a physician I was recruited several times to assist in such practices for really high payments per patient. Of course I was to make "independent" decisions, hint, hint, nudge, nudge. My conscience did not let me participate, but I am shocked what lawyers can get away with without any risk of being taken to court for fraud.
There was that case of Ernest Saunders, defendant in a major British fraud case. He made the only known recovery from Alzheimers in medical history. Or perhaps the diagnosis was happily incorrect.
I’ll never forget being called by a law firm on the way to the hospital after an accident where I was found not at fault. I promptly told them to find a different person to feed off of while I worked with my existing legal help.
