In the days building up to President Bush's signing of the Class Action Fairness Act, St. Clair County saw its largest influx of class action litigation in history.
Among the cases:
Komeshak charges Illinois Farmer's Insurance, Swiss insurer Zurich Services, Hartford (Ct.) Accident & Indemnity, New Jersey-based Risk Enterprises Management, and Texas-based Concentra with a range of digital offenses aimed at lowering payments to his practice, from "manipulating computer codes" to using "biased software."
Komeshak is represented by the Lakin Law firm as well as Robert Becker of Belleville.
Schweiss is represented by David Nester of Belleville and Max Margulis of Chesterfield.
Peel claims that he purchased one CD from Time-Life, but the next month his Visa was billed and he was sent another CD without his permission.
Peel is represented by Paul Marks of the Lakin Law Firm of Wood River.
Roche accuses Corvel of "defrauding" her doctors by reimbursing at discounted rates while never delivering "promised patient referrals."
Corvel is not an insurance company. Physicians who enter Corvel's PPO offer their services at discounted prices in exchange for access to that patient-referral network.
Roche is also represented by the Lakin Law firm and Robert Becker of Belleville.
Fischer alleges thay "wrongfully and deceptively" reduced payments to him by claiming he was part of respective their PPO networks.
