  • When defense attorneys go overboard for their clients.  Lawyers Benjamin Gluck and Matthew Rifat went too far. 

    There are defense attorneys who believe insurance carriers are always coming up with tactics they can use not to pay claims.  One of them is to threaten medical providers with fraud.  And lawyers who are always pro-medical-provider, who have a prejudice in thinking it’s always the insurance company who’s the bad guy, can miss it completely when the medical provider is the one committing the fraud.

    Their prejudice distorts their view.  They can’t see the reality because they are so one-sided. 

    Back in the summer of the year 2010, a Lebanese spinal-surgeon named Dr. Munir Uwaydah, fled California for Beirut, Lebanon when his colleague, Kelly Soo Park, was arrested as the primary suspect in the murder of aspiring actress and model Juliana Redding.  Dr. Uwaydah had been romantically linked to Juliana Redding during the year 2007, and when she was murdered in her Santa Monica bungalow on March 15th 2008, Uwaydah became a person of interest.

    There are many ways for disparate types of perpetrators to commit insurance fraud.  But there’s one type that gets the least attention. Most people don’t even seem to know about it. It comes from right under an insurance company’s roof.  It happens just as frequently as the other types.  So, let me tell you three... Read More

    For one particular medical doctor, Dr. Munir Uwaydah, fraudulent activity worldwide is his lifeway.  I heard a paleoanthropologist lecture about ancient mankind, and referring to a prehistoric species, he asked, “What was their lifeway?”  I believe individuals have a lifeway, and cultures, classes, and genetic types have a general lifeway.  An individual lives his lifeway...
