This is the case of Hassan Fayad vs. Liberty Mutual Insurance Co. et al, in U.S. District Court, of Michigan, the Southern Division. 

Plaintiff Hassan Fayed owned businesses providing transportation, diagnostics, testing, and therapy services.  He regularly billed insurance companies for these services.  He was arrested and tried for fraud and then convicted.  He subsequently got the conviction overruled.  Fayad then sued the insurers and the prosecutors.  He alleged they were responsible for his undeserved plight.

Liberty Mutual, Progressive, Allstate, and Esurance by January of 2020 suspected Hassan Fayad of fraud.  They filed a complaint with the Michigan Department of the Attorney General.  These insurers alleged Fayed and others billed auto insurance policies without providing medically necessary services or any necessary services at all.

Fayed was also charged in state court for conspiracy to commit false pretenses.  He thus sued the insurance companies plus the two prosecuting attorneys.

He asserted violations under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and state law.  This included claims for false arrest, malicious prosecution, due process violations, civil conspiracy, and gross negligence.
