Newsday interviewed Hofstra Law Professor Norman Silber about a federal lawsuit involving Long Island residents accused of widespread fraud.
Excerpt
Norman Silber, who teaches consumer law at Hofstra University’s Maurice A. Deane School of Law, said the plaintiff would need to demonstrate a high degree of evidence to prove that the doctors knowingly conspired with lawyers and the Long Islanders in a scheme to stage the accidents.
But he anticipates that the suit, and at least some of its claims, is likely to survive any expected motions to dismiss the case and would likely proceed to depositions and discovery.
