What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state?
Florida.
This inquiry was difficult to place, I wasn't sure where to put it. Hopefully, it is correct or will be moved.
My husband was involved in a MVA 2 yrs ago. Soft tissue and some nerve damage. Driver at fault was excluded from policy and license was suspended. No attorney would take the case.
Husband was seen by doctor for treatment (PT, Nerve conduction studies, cortisone injections, Rx's, etc...) for several months.
During this time the doctor was being investigated by the FBI. (we did not know) The 'doctor' is now serving his first year of a 20 year sentence with no parole. (Charges were health care fraud and distribution of controlled substances) He was not a licensed physician nor a pharmacist. Not a first offence on pharmacutical charges.
The judge ordered full restitution to my husband and many many other vics. We have repeatedly been told by the FBI, our Vic Specialist and the US Parole Officer that restitution will be coming from the cash and assests seized and that the appeal process was nearing the end. We should be hearing something from the USDoJ any day now. Today, we learn from the Federal clerk of courts that we will see nothing basically. The restitution comes from the criminal.....NOT the assests. And he will have to repay when he has served and is employed.
Is this true?
The med practise (buildings and biz) were jointly owed by fake doc and his 'real' doc brother. Brother is still in practise and businesses remain open. (he was investigated himself but not charged with anything to date) Med centers have changed names.
Is there another avenue to explore on retrieving funds we paid out, LOW's, pain and suffering... (not sure of the correct terminology). Our insurance coverage limit was exhausted by the fake doctor.
Is civil court an option on this matter? Would it be against fake doctor? Brother? Med Center?
Any advise or words of wisdom will be greatly appreciated. Thank you kindly.
