Ambulance frameup in Linn County personal injury suit
A Linn County suit for 5000 dollars over a railway accident ended with dismissal before trial after investigators exposed a staged claim. The case revealed ambulance chasers and a Cedar Rapids physician confirming two different women as the same plaintiff, with misrepresented injuries and a planned payout. The judge called it the boldest frameup he had seen and ordered a grand jury inquiry.
